Abstract
Rabbits were used to demonstrate the feasibility of using Dacron fibers to fix intraocular lenses. Adhesion occurred five days after insertion and was confirmed by histologic examination to consist of fibroblastic ingrowth into the Dacron fibers. This cellular response was consistent and remained localized. Anterior and posterior placement of the acrylic portion of the lens was compared. It is our clinical impression that the risk of pupillary block is increased with posterior placement of the lens.Keywords
