Timur M. Yildirim, Hui Fang, Sonja K. Schickhardt, Qiang Wang, Patrick R. Merz & Gerd U. Auffarth   Abstract Background The formation of fluid-filled microvacuoles, termed glistenings, is a common complication of intraocular lenses (IOLs) made from hydrophobic acrylate. Using our well-established in-vitro laboratory method, we evaluated a new IOL material’s resistance to glistening formation....Read More

 The diffractive type cataract lenses are lenses that are on the surface of the artificial crystalline lens. Small micro-grooves have been impressed on them, which, are of a few microns high, have the ability to make a diffractive effect on light, that dignifies the additional foci. Therefore, the lens has a focus for distance...Read More
