Abstract:
We found that an intraocular lens with a bonded coating of sodium hyaluronate caused less cell damage than an uncoated lens. We also found that an intraocular lens bonded with sodium hyaluronate will provide not only better adherence to viscoelastic materials and endothelial protection, but also may allow for better manipulation of the lens intraocularly. This is the first report of a sodium hyaluronate-coated intraocular lens used to prevent cell damage.
