Irradiation of cat corneas with the therapeutic dose used to lock in the power of the LAL was not associated with damage to endothelial cells. Further studies are necessary to confirm the absence of damage at the ultrastructural level.
It is apparent that light adjustable lenses plus injectable technology, and multifocality can produce precise refractive correction and, hopefully, the type of accommodative range that we take for granted when we are young. Combining these technologies with a lens material that behaves like a crystalline lens of a 25 year old could precisely return near and distance vision to older adults.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
