Abstract
A method for treating an ocular condition in a mammal includes removing an original lens to leave an empty lens capsule, filling the empty lens capsule with a gas to maintain capsule tension and prevent folding of the empty lens capsule, disposing a substance into said empty lens capsule that providing an internal scaffold for proliferation and differentiation of lens fibers; and selectively removing said substance by laser photoablation.
