Biostatistical analysis of pseudophakic and aphakic retinal detachments

“…5,12,[32][33][34][35][36] Apple and Ridley reported on intra-operative factors that led to a decrease in posterior capsular opacification. 32 These included cortical cleaving hydrodissection, capsulorrhexis and endocapsular fixation. Furthermore, biocompatible IOLs appear to have reduced proliferation of residual cells.…”

Sir Nicholas Harold Ridley, Kt, MD, FRCS, FRS

“…A detailed biography and several short works about Ridley have already been published. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Just before his death, Ridley requested that, in lieu of a classic obituary or biography, we mention a few of his non-IOL-related activities.…”

Transient intraocular lens opacification during phacoemulsification surgery

“…Each year, about 6 million cataract surgeries with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation are accomplished 1 . Since its development by Sir Harold Ridley, IOL implantation into the human eye during this surgery has been an enormously successful procedure, 2 and the success rate is rarely seen in other implanting foreign material processes of medicine 3 . However, like any other surgery, this method has its own complications, one of which is IOL opacification or discoloration which could happen intraoperatively or postoperatively.…”
