Gold-coated plastic casts of the anterior segment ocular microcirculation of the rabbit eye were studied by scanning electron microscopy to define the interaction between ciliary sulcus fixated intraocular lenses and the anterior segment vasculature. A detailed description of the technique is given. Interactions such as loop deformation by the tissue and loop erosion into the vascular tissue are shown. Possible clinical applications of this experimental model are discussed.
