Research Article: Intraocular Lens Unfurling Time Exponentially Decays with Increased Solution Temperature
Introduction:
Globally, cataracts are the prevailing cause of blindness in adults over years of age. Cataract surgery, where a patient’s native, clouded lens is replaced with a prosthetic one, remains the only effective treatment for this disease. Cataract surgery is a highly optimized procedure, with few uncontrolled parameters. Surgeons have precise control over flow rate of irrigation fluid and intraocular pressure via phacoemulsification devices. However, surgeons currently lack temperature control of the ocular surgical…
