title: [Properties of injectable intraocular lenses].
abstract: An aphakic eye can be corrected by injecting a liquid into the lens capsule following phacoemulsification and hardening the lens by UV irradiation. Another technique is to implant a thin casing of silicone rubber, that is then filled with liquid. The eye's resulting refraction depends strongly on the refractive index of the lens material. In either case, continuous control of the index of refraction is necessary while injecting the artificial lens material.
