The posterior capsule opacity (PCO) is nowadays one of the most important aspects in cataract surgery of modern times. It´s still the most frequent post operatory complication associated with visual acuity diminution, deterioration of contrast sensitivity and blinding problems that lead to social, medical and economic repercussions.PANDOC software is a tool for numerical quantification and detection of opacity differences (sometimes imperceptible for human eyes), reaching an objective evaluation of opacity degree and minimizing the observation bias between one doctor and another. For that reason is necessary to identify automatically PCO in these images, for which is designed a case-based system. The present research is oriented to the application of a case-based system for the PANDOC software, to identify and quantify objectively PCO using the resulting images of the Pentacam´sScheimpflug camera.

Palabras clave : posterior capsule opacity; cataract; PANDOC; PENTACAM; case-based systems; knowledge base.
