What does the posterior capsule do in the human eye?

The posterior capsule is a thin, transparent membrane that surrounds the lens of the human eye. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the lens's shape and providing structural support. Additionally, it helps to compartmentalize the eye's inner environment, facilitating the proper functioning of the lens and its ability to focus light onto the retina. The posterior capsule is also important in cataract surgery, as it serves as a scaffold for intraocular lens implantation.
