In vivo study on the performance of therapeutic intraocular lens loaded with an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory by Ana Topete, Junmei Tang, Quankui Lin, Benilde Saramago, Ana Paula Serro

“…AbstractIntroduction Cataract treatment usually involves surgery for substitution of the opacified eye lens by an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). In the post-operatory period, antibiotics and anti-inflammatories eye drops are prescribed to prevent endophthalmitis that may occur due to bacterial infection and results in serious complications [1,2]. …”

Eye development and developmental expression of crystallin genes in the long arm octopus, Octopus minor by Kyoung-Bin Ryu, Kyoung-Bin Ryu, Gun-Hee Jo, Young-Chun Gil, Donggu Jeon, Na-Rae Choi, Seung-Hyun Jung, Seonmi Jo, Hye Suck An, Hae-Youn Lee, Seong-il Eyun, Sung-Jin Cho

“…The common long-arm octopus (Octopus minor) is a good model system in evolutionary and developmental studies due to its highly centralized nervous system, shorter life cycle, and specific camera-type eyes that contribute to convergence with vertebrate eye. Lens-containing eyes represent a significant improvement of simple eye and have evolved by convergent mechanisms, a variety of lenses and corneas containing diverse crystallin. …”
