APPARATUS FOR INTRODUCING PREDETERMINED OUANTITY OF OXYGEN SOLUTION INTO CRYSTALLINE LENS OF EYE

摘要

An enzymatic intralenticular cataract treatment for removal of nuclear cortical and subcapsular regions of the cataractous lens through enzymatic digestion thereof which comprises introduction of a concentrated solution of mixed exogenous enzymes into the nuclear and cortical regions of a cataractous lens, and after enzymatic digestion removing the liquefied cataractous material. The procedure allows removal of the nuclear, cortical and subcapsular portions of a cataractous lens through a very tiny incision in the eye and lens capsule, leaving all other structures within the eye intact.
