Intraocular Lens Assortment |
|||
|
This is a large assortment of intraocular lenses from the past. The intraocular lens is the cornerstone of today's successful cataract surgery. Harold Ridley of Britain is known as the father of the intraocular lens. The examples shown here are primarily made of PMMA (poly-methyl-methacrylate). This material was chosen after its inertness was observed when it was seen in the eyes of flyers during world war II due to shattered airplane canopies made of the same material. To see a larger image of any lens click on its picture. Hold the mouse pointer over a picture for a brief description. |
