[The advances of the research work on lens cells using patch clamp technique].
The study of lens cells by patch clamp technique began in the early 90's. It shows that the membrane of lens cells possess different types of ionic channels. These channels are responsible for the modulation of the hydration state and transparency of lens. Several patch clamp configurations have been used to study the activity of ionic channels. The resting potential and capacitance as well as resistance of different lens cells were also measured.
