  • (20) A new technique, the frown incision, was developed and a series of 62 eyes with 6 mm and 7 mm incisions for intercapsular phacoemulsification and implantation of a 6 mm or 7 mm one-piece biconvex poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) posterior chamber intraocular lens with single horizontal mattress suture closure was prospectively evaluated for induced astigmatism.

Lenticular


Definition:

  • (a.) Resembling a lentil in size or form; having the form of a double-convex lens.

Example Sentences:
