[Histological studies in cataract--effect of USIOL IOL's in posterior capsule of rabbits].

UNLABELLED

Cataract represents a degenerative process of lens structures with multifactor causes.

STUDY OBJECTIVES

are to present histopathological modificatios at different types of cataract and to demonstrate the USIOL lens effects at rabbit posterior capsule, after extracapsular surgery.

MATERIAL AND METHOD

It was performed a comparative histological study at different types of cataract. It was implanted PMMA and acrylic USIOL lens at 2 rabbits. Follow-up was for 3 months and after ECCE it was performed histopathological examination of posterior lens capsules.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS

There are few histological observations which can suggests the cataract cause. USIOL implants are well tolerated and the posterior lens capsule modifications after IOL implantation are not important.
