Effects on the Surrounding Tissues and Morphological Changes of Components after Implantation of PMMA and Heparin Surface Modified PMMA Intraocular Lens in Rabbit Eyes

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cellular response and morphological changes of cells on the intraocular lens(IOL) implanted over a course of time and to identify the basic mechanism of IOL adaptation to tissue reaction in the implanted eye by comparing polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) IOL with heparin surface modified PMMA IOL.
