Abstract |
Macroscopic and microscopic examinations were performed on the 18 rabbit eyes in which methyl methacylate and nylon looped methyl methacrylate anterior chamber lenses were inserted and fixed in the chamber angle. Methyl methacrylate lens was inserted in 9 eyes and nylon looped methyl methacrylate was inserted in 9 eyes. Macroscopically, corneal haziness was not completely disappeared untill 7 ~ 10 days after insertion and neovascularization was found near the limbus where lens was fixed in the chamber angle. Microscopically, fibrosis and infiltration of neutrophil leucocytes were found on the cornea adjacent to the angle, chamber angle and iris. These findings were slightly more pronounced in nylon looped anterior chamber lens group. From this result, we can not draw any conclusion regarding prolonged effect of these anterior chamber lenses and further investigation will be needed. |
