METHODS OF PRODUCING INTRAOCULAR LENSES AND MATERIALS SUITABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCTION

摘要

A method of producing an intraocular lens, comprising the steps of injecting a high-refractive index, low viscosity composition of cross-linkable units into an enclosure, initiating a polymerization reaction optionally under forming pressure to create a synthetic polymer lens. The method is especially suitable for producing an intraocular lens directly in the capsular bag of the eye from an injected aqueous solution of macromolecular particles which can undergo a cross-linking reaction to a solid lens when exposed to light.
