Biomechanical properties of the ong capsular lens and results of four years of clinical experience

RESUMO

We developed a capsular supported lens based on a biomechanical concept. Specific managemente of the anterior and posterior capsules ensured double capsular paocket fixation. for sage as well as atraumatic insertion, we applied the basic movement of the "downward swinging of a falling leaf", that worked effectively within ashallow anterior chamber. Because of the irido-lenticular clearance, the classic iridectomy was not indicated. Reconstituting the posterior chamber and artificially deepening it contributed to the integrity of the pupilary functions. The absence of capsular and zonular ruptures, the low rate of dislocations, decentrations and secondary capsule opacification in 200 lens implantations confirmed the biomechanical concept
