Friedrich M, Auffarth G, Merz P
Sci Rep . 2023 Feb; 13(1):2659. PMID: 36792674
Smaller corneal incisions in cataract surgery are linked with a better visual outcome and less frequent postoperative endophthalmitis. The insertion of intraocular lens (IOL) injector systems into the anterior chamber...

Fang H, Zhang L, Schickhardt S, Merz P, Yan W, Leroux M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2022 Feb; 12(1):2723. PMID: 35177741
During intraocular lens (IOL) implantation it is not uncommon for the injector's nozzle-tip to get damaged. However, the damage has not been systematically described or evaluated using an objective scale....

Ophthalmol Ther . 2021 Feb; 10(1):165-174. PMID: 33544374
Introduction: Foldable hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) are prone to develop a long-term postoperative material change called glistenings. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the...

BMC Ophthalmol . 2020 May; 20(1):186. PMID: 32375708
Background: The formation of fluid-filled microvacuoles, termed glistenings, is a common complication of intraocular lenses (IOLs) made from hydrophobic acrylate. Using our well-established in-vitro laboratory method, we evaluated a new...
