Lenticular Imaging: A New Experimental and Quantitative Analysis of Capsular Dynamics, "Choi-Apple View".

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Development of a means for quantitative estimation of lenticular and zonular dynamics by using real-time imaging of human autopsy eyes during implantation of different intraocular lens (IOL) models.

Methods

Isolated lenticular structures from human autopsy eyes were prepared in vitro. The following IOLs were implanted: a one-piece C-loop haptic IOL, a three-piece C-loop haptic IOL, and a one-piece plate-type IOL. The amount of deformation of lenticular structures during implantation was calculated and the movements visualized with two cameras. The results were transformed to two-dimensional graphs using a newly developed image-processing algorithm.

Results

For both one-piece plate-type and one-piece C-loop haptic IOLs, the amount of capsular bag deformation fr
