Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007030009A2] Assembly comprising an insertion device and an IOL. One of these or both is/are provided with a friction-reducing coating. This coating comprises parylene material. This is applied as a coating to the product concerned, as a result of which IOL can be moved more easily into the eye through the insertion device. Because the parylene material provides complete sealing it is possible, when it is applied to the IOL, to make the choice of the material for the IOL such that it is no longer dependent solely on the biocompatible properties. Consequently it is possible to use a plastic which is not biocompatible. In another variant a very hydrophobic material is used. The invention also relates to a method for providing an IOL or insertion device (cartridge) with a parylene material.
