Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Activated by Ultraviolet-B Degrades Human Ciliary Zonules In Vitro

The ciliary zonules, also known as the zonules of Zinn, help to control the thickness of the lens during focusing. The ciliary zonules are composed of oxytalan fibers, which are synthesized by human nonpigmented ciliary epithelial cells (HNPCEC). The ciliary zonules are exposed to ultraviolet (UV),...
