Implantation of intraocular lens for traumatic cataract caused by sports injury / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the materials and design of intraocular lens for traumatic cataract caused by sports injuries.METHODS: The databases of Medline and CNKI were retrieved by computer with key words of "sports injury, cataract, and intraocular lens". The languages were restricted as Chinese and English. By searching, 12 literatures concerning intraocular lens for traumatic cataract caused by sports injuries were selected, including 3 written in English and 9 in Chinese.RESULTS: One of the causes for cataract is sports injury. Every year, thousands of cases suffered eye damages in China due to sports. Here, first, a brief introduction of the causes of cataract was presented, and then the suitable intraocular lens implantation for athletes was prepared, finally, the materials and design of intraocular lens was discussed.CONCLUSION: The intraocular lens is developed fast both in basic theory and clinic, which exhibit good features in biocompatibility, visual function, regulatory ability, as well as photoprotection following transplantation. The widening of intraocular lens can provide more choices for physicians, and the life quality of patient was obviously improved.
