Hsueh et al[3]CellsROS-induced CECs damage has been demonstrated to significantly promote apoptosis and autophagy during phacoemulsification
M Padua et al[12]Vet OphthalmolOxidative stress plays a major role in CECs damage and ascorbic acid significantly protected CECs during phacoemulsification
Ashush et al[13]Cancer ResAcoustic cavitation can generate free radicals, sonoluminescence, high pressure and temperature rise
Holst et al[18]Curr Eye ResSOD can inhibit the formation of free radicals during phacoemulsification
Rubowitz et al[19]Invest Ophthalmol Vis SciThe number of postoperative CECs in the study group treated with ascorbic acid was significantly more
