A treatment solution used to prevent posterior capsular opacification is applied or introduced into the lens capsular bag before, during, or after cataract surgery. The treatment solution may also be applied to an intraocular lens prior to surgery. The treatment solution comprises an ion transport mechanism interference agent, which either alone or in combination with other treatment agents such as an osmotic stress agent and an agent to establish a suitable pH, selectively induces detachment and/or death of lens epithelial cells such that posterior capsular opacification is prevented. While the ion transport mechanism interference agent is capable of interfering with the cellular mechanisms and cell ion distribution of a broad range of cells, a concentration of agent is selected such that the treatment solution interferes selectively with the cellular mechanisms of lens epithelial cells while leaving other ocular cells substantially unharmed. The treatment solution selectively induces cellular death and/or detachment of lens epithelial cells while other ocular cells and tissue remain substantially unharmed and without lengthy preoperative pre-treatment.
一种用于预防后囊膜混浊的治疗方案被应用或引入到白内障手术之前、期间或之后的晶状体囊袋中。治疗方案也可以在手术前应用于人工晶体。该治疗方案包括离子传输机制干扰剂,该干扰剂单独或与其他治疗剂(如渗透应激剂和用于建立适当pH的剂)结合使用,有选择地诱导晶状体上皮细胞的脱离和/或死亡,从而预防后囊膜混浊。虽然离子传输机制干扰剂能够干扰广泛范围细胞的细胞机制和细胞离子分布,但选择了一定浓度的干扰剂,使治疗方案有选择性地干扰晶状体上皮细胞的细胞机制,同时基本不伤害其他眼部细胞。该治疗方案有选择性地诱导晶状体上皮细胞的
细胞死亡和/或脱离,而其他眼部细胞和组织基本不受伤害,并且无需冗长的术前预处理。
