Morphology of hydrogel implants used for refractive keratoplasty.

摘要: The pathology of 14 keratophakia procedures in nine nonhuman primates using various hydrogel lenses as donor lenticles is presented. were treated if they human corneas currently practiced procedures. This included microkeratome resection the recipient cornea, staining before cryolathing and, most instances, lathing according to a modified computer program after which inserted into previously dissected lamellar bed. There was no histologic evidence an inflammatory reaction hydrogels. major pathologic feature presence activated keratocytes lining intrastromal pockets.
