Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8808287A1] An intraocular lens (10) is described that includes an optic portion (20) formed of an optically suitable polymer or glass material that has been coated by a fluorocarbon polymer (22). A haptic element or device (21) of the IOL is attached to the optic. The resulting low-energy IOL surface induces significantly reduced cell damage when contacted with corneal endothelial tissues. The fluorocarbon polymer coating is preferably applied by exposing IOL surfaces to a plasma formed from a gaseous fluorocarbon monomer. The resulting IOL causes substantially less damage to corneal endothelial cells during implantation.
