Biocompatibility of poly(methyl methacrylate), silicone, and AcrySof intraocular lenses: Randomized comparison of the cellular reaction on the anterior lens surface

Abstract

The three IOL types were sufficiently biocompatible to function in normal eyes with age-related cataracts. However, AcrySof IOLs were associated with lower giant cell counts than PMMA and silicone IOLs and might produce better results in eyes with pre-existing blood-aqueous barrier damage.
