Classification of Intraocular Lenses
This article aims at providing a synopsis of intraocular lenses which are being used in the present practice. The types have been classified based on structure, sites of fixation, optic and haptic material, Focality and also asphericity. The article also

Growth factor restriction impedes progression of wound healing following cataract surgery: identification of VEGF as a putative therapeutic target [PDF]
Secondary visual loss occurs in millions of patients due to a wound-healing response, known as posterior capsule opacification (PCO), following cataract surgery. An intraocular lens (IOL) is implanted into residual lens tissue, known as the capsular bag,

Changes in forward light scatter parameters as a function of refractive error in young adults [PDF]
Background/aims Some aspects of visual performance worsen with increasing myopia. Whilst the underlying causes are not always clear, reduction in retinal image quality is often attributed to structural changes in the posterior myopic eye.

Polycarbonate intraocular lenses
Bisphenol-A polycarbonate has been investigated as an improved polymer for ocular implants, especially for intraocular lenses (IOLs). Polycarbonate properties afford special opportunities for development of tougher, stronger, one-piece IOLs. Autoclave or gamma sterilizability and a higher refractive index may provide additional IOL advantages over ...

Clinical application of accommodating intraocular lens [PDF]
The present review describes recent advances in application of accommodating intraocular lenses (AIOLs). Standard monofocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) only correct distance vision, while AIOLs are designed to allow both good distance vision and near ...
