| Popis: | Few patients retain a clear lens after a perforating injury of the cornea and lens; traumatic cataract is the usual result. Analysis of the literature and patient files suggest that posttraumatic fibrinogen exudation plays a significant role in this development, which is supported by serial experimentation on human lenses in vitro as well as rabbit and rat eyes in vivo. We developed a microsurgical technique of fibrinogenbased capsule tear sealing that has been applied in an initial series of patients. A posttraumatic thin fibrin layer covering the capsule tear is usually insufficient but delays the lens damage so a successful intervention is possible after intervals of many hours and even days. |
