β¦ Synopsis
Intraocular implantation of an iris-bridge or lobster-claw lens was performed on a rabbit eye. The incisions were closed with stainless steel-vanadium sutures. Two months after implantation loosening at one side of the connection between lens and iris was noted, which resulted in long-term intermittent touch of the corneal endothelium. The reaction of the endottlelium to the corneal sutures and the contact area of artificial lens and corneal endothelium were studied by SEM.
