Background: To assess the surgical procedure, safety and stability of a next generation injectable telescope prosthesis in a rabbit model.

Methods: After removal of the crystalline lenses of eight New Zealand White rabbits, the next generation device was randomly implanted in one eye, and the available telescope prosthesis (Normal device) was implanted in the fellow eye. Operative parameters (incision, capsulorrhexis size and operative time), intraoperative and postoperative complications rates, endothelial cell density changes and the distance between the corneal endothelium and the telescope (central clearance distance) were measured and compared between the groups.

Here we report that following subcutaneous (SC) injection of olive oil to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, local SC lipogranulomas formed, which were associated with an unusual location of the same changes in the peritoneum. Macroscopically, multifocal white spots were found over the liver and mesentery.
