The study aims to explore the effectiveness of zwitterionic poly(carboxybetaine) in preventing posterior capsular opacification on intraocular lenses.
Evaluated surface modification techniques on intraocular lenses.
Assessed the adhesion and proliferation of lens epithelial cells on modified lenses.
Conducted comparative analyses of treated versus untreated lenses.
Zwitterionic modification significantly reduced LEC adhesion on the IOL surface.
The treatment showed a decrease in the proliferation of LECs compared to control lenses.
Surface-modified lenses displayed enhanced biocompatibility.

Implication

This research demonstrates how surface modification can prevent posterior capsular opacification in eye surgeries, indicating potential improvements in intraocular lens designs.

Abstract

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) remains the most common long-term complication after cataract surgery, primarily caused by residual lens epithelial cells (LEC) adhesion and proliferation on the intraocular lens (IOL) surface....
