Problems on the materials of IOL

Abstract

The problems to get new intraocular lens (IOL) from the point of view of materials are discussed.
For the suturing materials, which fixate IOL, slenderness (φ 10-0), good tensile and Knot strength, no biodegradation and good biocompatibility, are requested.
The necessity to get mechanically, chemically and biochemically strong surface with biocompatibility in IOL materials is requested also. There is great necessity for the development of simulating accelaration test for the evalution of the new materials.
Development of ideal sterilization method is important instead of currently used method like NaOH system, EOG system or others.
