Abstract
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are implanted during cataract surgery, the most common surgical procedure, with over 30 million operations performed annually worldwide. Investigating their particle emission could be crucial in reducing post-operative complications such as posterior capsule opacification (PCO). To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study on the particle emission of common IOL types by combining OptoFluidic Force Induction (OF2i) with Raman and FTIR spectroscopy.
