Posterior capsular opacification is the most common long term postoperative complication encountered every day. Many
methods have been employed to reduce the incidence of PCO with the advent of better IOL designs to improved micro
surgical techniques in cataract surgery. The best and the most commonly used mode of treatment for PCO is Nd – YAG
laser. This work indicates the necessity to initiate topical antiglaucoma remedies from the second hour itself considering
the steep rise of IOP from the second hour to third hour. Within the sixth hour the IOP begins to decline towards the
baseline reaching near normal values in majority of the patients.
