Figure 12. Cell counts to evaluate recoverability and toxicity following COX-2 inhibition
Cells were counted from a hematoxylin and eosin stained slide of 6 different lens capsules in each treatment group. There is a significant decrease (p<0.001) in the number of cells adhered to the lens capsule following treatment with the COX-2 inhibitors for week 1 before capsules were treated with vehicle for week 2. There was no significant decrease in the number of cells present in the capsules that received vehicle for week 1 and the COX-2 inhibitor for week 2 compared to the vehicle controls.
