Abstract:Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of calcium and phosphorus levels on optical deterioration in primary and secondary intraocular lens (IOL) calcification.
Methods
A total of 18 explanted IOLs, 10 with primary, and 8 with secondary calcification, were examined. Straylight and light loss were evaluated as predictors of optical impairment. The individual amount of calcium and phosphorus was determined using thermogravimetry followed by emissio… Show more
