Abstract
Calcification is a well-known process of calcium phosphate mineralization observed in intraocular lenses. Despite the many works conducted in this field, there is no strict explanation of the mechanisms of this process. In order to better understand the phenomenon, i.e., the mechanisms and structural conditions that promote calcification, any research observations should be conducted under conditions that best reflect those of the human eye. Taking into account the specific anatomy and physicochemical conditions of the human eye, the problem under discussion becomes difficult to solve in vitro. In the present study, calcium phosphates formed under conditions similar to those in the human eye were characterized using SEM/EDS and infrared spectroscopy. Conducted study showed the formation of white spherical precipitates, which are unstable when extracted from solution. Such precipitates were characteristic of solutions containing 1.5–3.0 mM2 of solutes. Elemental analysis showed a Ca/P ratio of 1.64–1.65, which is similar to the ratio for hydroxyapatite (1.67). Chemical structure analysis revealed the presence of broad bending and stretching bands at 475–830 cm−1 and 880–1250 cm−1, respectively, which are characteristic of PO43− groups in apatite calcium phosphates. In further analysis involving numerical fitting the bands corresponding to apatitic PO43− and indicating the presence of calcium phosphates hydration were found. The results allow the selection of immersion media for further studies involving the incubation of hydrogel intraocular lenses.
