Calcification Potential of Intraocular Lenses (IOL). Predictive in vitro and in vivo models [PDF]
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in MedicineOpacification of intraocular lenses (IOLs) due to the formation of calcium phosphate occurs because of their contact with the aqueous humor (AH), which is supersaturated with respect to calcium phosphate.

True Story of Poly(2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate)-Based Contact Lenses: How Did It Really Happen
Substantia, 2022 Soft hydrogel contact lenses represent the most famous and commercially successful application of poly(2‑hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The scarcely crosslinked network of this hydrophilic polymer finds its use also in many other fields, be it in (bio ...

CORNEAL CHANGES FROM HYDROPHILIC CONTACT LENSES [PDF]
Optometry and Vision Science, 1973 Corneal thickness and corneal curvature were measured before and after the wearing of hydrophilic contact lenses and it was consistently found that the thickness increased while the curvature virtually remained unaltered. On removal of the lenses the cornea returned to its normal thickness within two hours.

Hybrid contact lenses for the correction of primary and induced ametropias
Российский офтальмологический журнал, 2020 The review presents the data on the use of hybrid contact lenses (HCL), a modern method of contact correction of ametropias of diverse origins. A HCL has a central rigid optical zone made of highly gas-permeable material and a flexible peripheral part ...

Towards improving the biocompatibility of prosthetic eyes
Heliyon, 2021 Prosthetic eyes are currently manufactured using Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) which is not an ideal material because it is hydrophobic. While significant research has investigated the benefits of hydrophilic materials for contact lenses, no such ...
