A study of human lens cell growth in vitro. A model for posterior capsule opacification.

C S CS Liu, I M IM Wormstone, G G Duncan, J M JM Marcantonio, S F SF Webb, and P D PD Davies

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 37(5):906-14 (1996) PMID 8603875

After intraocular lens (IOL) implant surgery for cataract, cell growth on the posterior capsule is responsible for renewed visual impairment in approximately 30% of patients. The authors have, therefore, developed a human lens capsule system to study this growth in vitro.

    We demonstrate thermally controlled plasmon resonance modulation of single gold nanoparticles on vanadium dioxide thin films by performing dark-field spectroscopy measurements at different temperatures. The plasmon resonance of the nanoparticles exhibits a significant blueshift in the visible range...
