[Evaluation of the dynamic stress and quality of intraocular lenses]. / Otsenka dinamicheskikh nagruzok i kachestva intraokuliarnykh linz.

ABSTRACT

Dynamic centrifugal loads exerted by intraocular lenses (IOL) on the ocular tissues during eye movements are studied, and the estimates of the quality of IOLs made of different materials are derived as a function of the density and the refraction index. The increase in the mass of IOLs may be observed under dynamic centrifugal loads depending upon the material, dimensions and the techniques of IOL fixation. The relation between the material quality and its density and refraction index is found thus facilitating the estimation of various materials for IOL manufacture.
