Buoyancy of human and intraocular lenses in air and in aqueous humor.
The weights of seven human lenses in air and in aqueous humor were determined and compared to those of ten intraocular lens implants (IOLs). All IOLs tested were found to be significantly lighter than the human lenses in both air and in the aqueous humor.
