Damage to the Blood-Aqueous Barrier in Ocular Blunt Trauma and Its Association with Intraocular Pressure Elevation.

abstract：AIMS:Biomaterials are widely used in ophthalmology, and biodegradable polymers have been evaluated for use in surgery, tissue engineering and targeted drug delivery. We examined the tissue reactions attributable to 3 biodegradable polymers in the rat eye. METHODS:Inion GTR™ membrane [a blend of 85:15 poly(L-lactide-co...
