Purpose: To compare the ongrowth of lens epithelial cells (LECs) on the anterior surface of 6 different hydrophilic intraocular lenses (IOLs).
Setting: Medical University of Vienna, Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Vienna, Austria.
Methods: Six models of hydrophilic IOLs were compared in this prospective study: Visionflex A-100 (Distra Softcryl), Rayner Centerflex 570H (Rayner), Collamer CC4204BF-IOL (Staar), Injectacryl F 3000 (Distra), Hydroview H60M (Bausch & Lomb), and MemoryLens (ORC). Postoperative biomicroscopic examinations were performed 1, 3, 7, 30, 90, 180, and 365 days after surgery. Lens epithelial cells in each quadrant of the anterior capsule-free lens surface were graded. The product with the highest density and the number of quadrants with this density were used to measure LEC ongrowth.
Results: The Hydroview and Visionflex IOLs showed significantly more LECs than the other IOLs starting on day 7 after surgery (P < .028). There was a statistically significant difference in LEC ongrowth on the Memory IOL compared with all other IOLs from day 30 onward (P < .001). The Rayner, Collamer and Injectacryl IOLs had the fewest LECs on the anterior surface compared with all other IOLs from day 7 until the final examination.
Conclusions: The findings show that LEC ongrowth on the IOL surface is material dependent. The findings suggest that the material of the recently developed hydrophilic IOLs induces less LEC ongrowth than older models.

Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in blood encompass DNA, RNA, and protein biomarkers, but clinical utility is limited by their rarity. To enable tumor epitope-agnostic interrogation of large blood volumes, we developed a high-throughput microfluidic device, depleting hematopoietic cells through high-flow channels and force-amplifying magnetic lenses. Here, we apply this technology to analyze patient-derived leukapheresis products, interrogating a mean blood volume of 5.

Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common complication after cataract surgery. In this study, we used transforming growth factor beta-2 (TGF-β2)-induced SRA01/04 cells to mimic PCO cell model and explored the functions and underlying mechanisms of specific protein 1 (SP1) in TGF-β2-induced SRA01/04 cell development. MTT assay and EdU assay were carried out to explore the proliferation of SRA01/04 cells.

Aim: To investigate the biocompatibility and bacterial adhesion properties of light responsive materials (LRM) and analyze the feasibility and biosafety of employing LRM in the preparation of accommodative intraocular lenses (AIOLs).
Methods: Employing fundamental experimental research techniques, LRM with human lens epithelial cells (hLECs) and human retinal pigment epithelium cells (ARPE-19 cells) were co-cultured. Commercially available intraocular lenses (IOLs) were used as controls to perform cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), cell staining under varying light intensities, cell adhesion and bacterial adhesion experiments.

Purpose: To report the clinical outcomes achieved in refractory cases of neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) through the utilization of insulin eye drops alone or in conjunction with a drug-depository contact lens (DDCL).
Observations: This multicentric prospective open-label uncontrolled case series included consecutive patients with NK refractory to conventional treatment. Insulin eye drops (1 unit/mL) were prescribed 4 times/day in all cases, and a Therapeutic Hyper-CL™ soft contact lens (EyeYon Medical, Ness Ziona, Israel), designed to act as a drug reservoir, was applied in selected patients.

Ectopia lentis (EL), characterised by impaired zonular fibers originating from non-pigmented ciliary epithelial cells (NPCEC), presents formidable surgical complexities and potential risks of visual impairment. Cataract surgery is the only treatment method for EL, but it leads to the loss of accommodative power of the lens post-operatively. Furthermore, the challenge of repairing zonular ligaments remains a significant global issue.
