Vacuoles in the Acrysof<sup>TM</sup> Intraocular Lens as Factor of the Presence of Serum in Aqueous Humor

2001

<i>Objective:</i> Acrysof™ (Alcon) foldable lenses (IOLs) have been shown to be highly biocompatible and exhibit a low incidence of posterior capsular opacification. However, minute vacuoles or ‘glistenings’ have been observed in some Acrysof IOLs. The clinical relevance of vacuole formation is presently unclear. To help clarify the influence of factors present under in vivo conditions on vacuole formation, the present experimental study examines the influence of aqueous humor components on the occurrence of vacuoles in Acrysof IOLs. <i>Methods:</i> A total of 12 sterile Acrysof IOLs (Alcon, MA60BM) were incubated at body temperature (37°C) for 3 or 6 months in anter…
