Investigation into the causes of post-operative calcification in intraocular lenses

Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster › peer-review

Abstract

Hydrophilic acrylic polymers are routinely used in the manufacture of intraocular lenses for implant in patients suffering from cataracts. However, late post-operative complications caused by calcification1 has recently been identified as a potential problem that results in visual impairment after the surgery.
