Abstract
Four new designs for anterior chamber intraocular lenses using Dacron fibers to achieve fixation were studied. After implantation in rabbit eyes, no lens dislocation occurred. Postmortem examination found firm Dacron adherence to iris tissue in all eyes. Clinically, no difference was noted in the amount of inflammation in eyes receiving a lens with or without Dacron. One new lens design was found to have substantial advantages over the other three models. However, a high incidence of corneal edema was found following insertion of all four experimental lenses.
