[Artificial lens implantation using high-viscosity hyaluronic acid].
In implant surgery there is more damage to the endothelium than in normal cataract extraction. This damage results from the implant coming into direct contact with the endothelium during surgery. To minimize this contact, hyaluronic acid was instilled into the anterior chamber between the implant and the endothelium. The effect of this procedure post-operative endothelial cell density was investigated in a clinical study. The result was found to be a decrease in endothelial cell loss.
