Purpose: To investigate cell adhesion to intraocular lens (IOL) surfaces having different properties using bacteria and fibroblasts.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Tokyo Medical University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Methods: The polished acrylic IOLs VA60-BB and VA-60-CB (Hoya) were used with no coating or after coating with poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphocholine-co-n-butyl-methacrylate) (MPC) or methane gas plasma.

Purpose: To examine the number cells adhering to acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) having different degrees of surface roughness and acrylic IOLs having different contact angles.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Tokyo Medical University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Methods: In this study, VA-60 CB acrylic IOLs were used.
Surface roughness of intraocular lenses and inflammatory cell adhesion to lens surfaces.

Purpose: To assess and examine the relationship between the degree of intraocular lens (IOL) surface roughness and the severity of inflammatory cell adhesion to the optical surface.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Tokyo Medical University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Methods: Poly(methyl methacrylate) IOLs with 3 degrees of mean surface roughness (Ra) were used including IOLs with an unpolished optical surface and IOLs with optical surfaces polished for 1 day or 5 days.
