Effect of Photo‐Initiation Polymerization and Thermal‐Initiation Polymerization on the Reduction of Glistening in Hydrophobic Acrylic Intraocular Lens Materials

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, EarlyView.
Glistening is the condensation of water that forms within intraocular lens (IOL), which can degrade the patient's vision quality. Photo‐initiation and thermal‐initiation polymerization are widely used for the preparation of IOL materials. An interesting result is obtained that the glistening of photopolymerized IOL materials is much smaller than that ...
