A Rabbit Model Study to Determine the Efficacy of a Prototype Corneal Endothelium Protector during Cataract Surgery

Figure 2

The results of seeding the cultivated HCECs on glass coverslips (as controls) and 3 different contact lenses. The HCECs were seen adhering and growing well as a monolayer on the Air Optix contact lens. The HCECs could not adhere well to the other surfaces of the contact lenses tested and instead formed sporadic cellular clusters.
