Blank liposome or balance salt solution (BSS) was used as control. Slit-lamp examination and histopathological examination was used to evaluated capsule opacifica-tion. Intraocular pressure (IOP) , density and morphology of corneal endothelia cells, the amplitude and latency of b wave of ERG were measured.Results: The inflammatory response was mild both in TAH treated and the control group. PCO formation occurred in the control group 2 weeks postoperatively, but the posterior capsule was clear in TAH treated eyes. 4 weeks and 8 weeks after operation, PCO occurred both in TAH展开更多
