Effect of Continuous Circular Capsulorhexis and Intraocular Lens Fixation on the Blood-Aqueous Barrier

Abstract

Abstract To the Editor. —The finding by Tsuboi et al1 that the blood-aqueous barrier (BAB) was more compromised in eyes with a smaller capsulorhexis than in those with a larger capsulorhexis was, as noted by the authors, unexpected. They postulated that contact between the optics of the intraocular lens and the lens epithelium was responsible for this finding, and perhaps they are correct. However, since the unexpected in research is often the most valuable (not to mention intriguing),...
