Relation between injected volume and optical parameters in refilled isolated porcine lenses

Purpose:  This study was performed to elucidate the correlation between added lens refill material and enhanced lens power as well as the correlation between lens refilling volume and accommodative amplitude as determined by equatorial stretching of ex vivo refilled pigs’ lenses.
