Abstract
The aphakic rabbit is a useful model for studying the ocular penetration and pharmacological action of topically applied drugs at the posterior pole, but the use of this model is complicated by the need for specialized preparative surgery. A simplified procedure for planned extracapsular lens surgery is described, which utilizes inexpensive instruments commonly available in an ophthalmology department or ophthalmic research laboratory.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
