An In Vitro Study of Human Lens Epithelial Cell Adhesion to Intraocular Lenses with and without a Fibronectin Coating

Abstract

There was a significant difference in the degree of lens epithelial cell attachment to the various types of intraocular lenses in vitro. Cell attachment was more prominent in the acrylic lenses, but the fibronectin coating negated differences in lens type and caused a significant increase in cell attachment across all groups.
