    This study investigated two-loop intraocular lens fixation in rabbit eyes. Results show minimal tissue response and successful placement in most cases, indicating good biocompatibility for intraocular lens implants.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Surgical Research

    Background:

    • Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are crucial for vision restoration after cataract surgery.
    • Ensuring stable IOL fixation within the eye is essential for long-term visual outcomes.
    • Two-loop IOL designs are utilized, necessitating evaluation of their fixation properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the laboratory fixation of two-loop intraocular plastic lenses.
    • To evaluate the biocompatibility and tissue response to these IOLs in a preclinical model.

    Main Methods:

    • Extracapsular lens extraction was performed on twenty rabbit eyes.
    • Two-loop plastic IOLs were implanted within the capsular remnants.
    • Histological examination was conducted to assess tissue alterations and cellular response.

    Main Results:

    • Successful placement of IOL loops was achieved in 62.5% of attempts (25 out of 40).
    • Histological analysis revealed minimal structural alterations at the site of IOL implantation.
    • A virtually absent cellular response was observed, even in direct tissue contact areas.

    Conclusions:

    • Two-loop intraocular plastic lenses demonstrate promising fixation capabilities in a laboratory setting.
    • The IOLs exhibit excellent biocompatibility with minimal adverse tissue reactions.
    • These findings support the potential clinical utility of two-loop IOL designs.
