Abstract
A method for determining the propensity of an intraocular lens material to prevent posterior capsule opacification is disclosed. The method involves contacting a sample of an IOL material having the shape of an IOL optic with collagen to form a contact area, incubating the sample in a liquid composition comprising lens epithelial cells, determining whether lens epithelial cells grow on the collagen in the contact area.
