Hydrophilic Acrylic Foldable Intraocular Lens with Water Contents 26%
The first foldable IOLs were developed in the 1950s, and were made of hydrogels. Hydrogels are hydrophilic networks of polymers that swell extensively on contact with water; they vary in size and properties, depending in part on their water content. In the hydrated state, hydrogels are flexible, clear, non-immunogenic and resemble living tissue – making them an excellent material to make foldable IOLs from (albeit a material that was considerably more expensive than PMMA). As water saturation determines hydrogel size, it means that you can implant a semi-hydrated lens through a small incision, and it will expand in the eye as it becomes fully hydrated.
Hydrophilic Acrylic Foldable Intraocular Lens with Water Contents are copolymers of HEMA and PMMA, with water contents of 26%, and are much more resistant to deformation and opacification.
