Hydrophilic Lens

Surface modification offers a hydrophilic lens with surface properties similar to hydrophobic lens without changing the bulk properties of the IOL material.

The idea behind surface modification of Hydrophilic IOL is to make it more hydrophobic & render it less attractive to cell attachment and cell growth.

Hydrophilic acrylic material has a proven clinical history and acceptability within Ophthalmic segment. We are providing a major advantage to this material by providing a permanent hydrophobic outer surface without changing the physiochemical and other typical properties of hydrophillic acrylic polymer.

Advantages of Surface modified IOLs:
Surface which is permanent in nature & technology that has proven its effectiveness in many implantable medical devices
Higher contact angle increases hydrophobicity Smooth lens surface prevents
Bacterial adhesion
Lower surface energy inhibits cell growth & cell adherence thus postponing the secondary cataract
Resistance to silicon oil adherence
Reduced inflammatory cell response
Optical Purity-no vacuoles
High Biocompatibility
Facilitates placement of the lens and reduces trauma to the patient by allowing for smaller incision during surgery
Implantation without substantial risk of corneal endothelial cell damage
Insensitive to atmospheric temperature changes as compared to hydrophobic IOLs
Less attractive to airborn particles in operational field
Cost effective
