A laboratory evaluation of nozzle tip damage in four generations of intraocular lens injector systems using a self-developed damage scale
Abstract During intraocular lens (IOL) implantation it is not uncommon for the injector’s nozzle-tip to get damaged. However, the damage has not been systematically described or evaluated using an objective scale. In this study we developed our own system—the Heidelberg Score for IOL Injector Damage...
