Chemical studies of intraocular lenses after experimental generation of lesions by a short-pulsed Nd-YAG laser

Abstract: It is theoretically possible that lesions generated by a Q-switched Nd-YAG laser could lead to chemical changes in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lenses. These changes could be of clinical relevance. Therefore, we measured the residual monomer content of intraocular lenses before and after generation of lesions by means of a short-pulsed Nd-YAG laser. Despite the explosive destruction of the lens surface caused by this type of laser, there is no measurable release of monomer in the sense of a depoly… Show more

“…To determine the residual monomer concentra tion according to a standard procedure from the Rohm Company [5], the lenses were initially dis solved in dimethylformamide, and the solutions were subsequently analyzed gas chromatographically, as previously mentioned [6,7], The experiments were performed using a gas chro matograph model F40 Multifract from the company Perkin-Elmer along with a 2-meter long separation column filled with di-n-decylphthalate 4% on chromosorb basis with 80-100 mesh. The temperature of the column was 120 °C, of the flame ionization detec tor 210 ° C, and of the warm bath 70 ° C.…”
