Postoperative variations in intraocular lens injector dimensions and corneal incisions

In their article, Arboleda et  al.1 describe a study of rabbit eyes comparing 13 intraocular lens (IOL) injectors and their effect on clear corneal wounds. Various measurements of the size of the injectors were taken, and these were then related to the size of incision needed for the injectors to pass through. All initials inci sions were 1.8 mm; they were then enlarged with the same knife used to make the initial incision. The authors state that incision enlargement was performed in 0.1 mm increments.
