| 摘要 |
An artificial intraocular lens (28) for surgical implantation to replace a damaged natural lens (20) in an otherwise functional eye of a patient has a cross-sectional dimension substantially less than that of the natural lens and is composed of a dry, solid hydrophilic material. The hydrophilic material is capable of hydration by the natural fluid present in the eye to expand after implantation to provide an optically correct lens thus improving the patient's vision. A method of implanting the lens is also described. <IMAGE> |
