title: Intraocular lens weight and the vitreous.
abstract: Intraocular lenses, or their components of various weights and designs, were placed on and within the viterous of fresh human autopsy eyes. All devices were supported on the surface of the intact viterous and within the formed vitreous. All sank promptly through the disorganized vitreous. Advice against anterior vitrectomies at the time of implant surgery is offered.
