Abstract
- Phacoemulsification was performed on both lenses of 24 rabbits. One eye received a lens implant with a convex-plano optic; the fellow eye received an implant with a convex-concave optic which separated the posterior surface of the implant from the posterior capsule by 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.4 mm. A YAG laser capsulotomy was performed on all eyes immediately following surgery and an assessment of both microscopic and macroscopic YAG-induced lens damage was made. The meniscus optics with their capsule-implant separation showed significantly less YAG-induced damage than their convex-plano counterparts without this separation. Increasing the amount of capsuleimplant separation beyond 0.2 mm did not enhance the degree of protection from YAG-induced damage.
