白内障是我国首位致盲性眼病，也是世界上多数国家致盲的主要原因，目前手术是唯一有效的治疗方法。而后囊膜下混浊即后发性白内障(PCO)是白内障术后常见的并发症，也是导致术后视力下降的主要原因。研究表明，术后残留的晶状体上皮细胞(LECs)发生上皮间充质转化(EMT)在PCO的发生发展中起到了重要的作用。本文主要概述了近些年来EMT在PCO中的研究进展。

[Abstract]
Cataract is the first blinding eye disease in China and the main cause of blindness in most countries in the world. Currently, surgery operation is the only effective treatment. Posterior capsular opacification(PCO)is a common complication after cataract surgery, and it is also the crucial induction of vision decline. Studies have shown that epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of lens epithelial cells(LECs)remaining after surgery plays an important role in the occurrence and development of PCO. This article mainly summarizes the research progress of EMT in PCO in recent years.
