TREATMENT OF POSTERIOR CAPSULE OPACIFICATION

摘要

Posterior capsular opacification is inhibited by administration of polymer, having immobilised on the surface, a ligand for a death receptor, preferably joined by a spacer into the lens capsule following cataract surgery. The ligand is preferably Fas ligand. A spacer is preferably polyethylene glycol. The polymer preferably constitutes an intraocular lens.
