Evaluation of a human capsular bag model for secondary cataract determination after intraocular lens implantation

Abstract

The human capsular bag model employed allows short-term evaluation of secondary cataract formation for different IOLs. This model's correlation with clinical results is good.

Capsular tension ring–based in vitro capsule opacification model

“…However, in IOL implantation, contact between the anterior and posterior capsules is desirable to be able to study the effect of IOL designs on LEC migration. In their model, Liekfeld et al 18 used 6 to 8 entomological pins through the edge of the capsular bag to provide maximum contact between the posterior capsule and the posterior IOL surface.…”
