    摘要: An IOL injector that includes a hydrophilic coating component that is effective to facilitate the passage of the IOL through the injector, particularly an injector tip. The IOL injector is prepared by a process that includes irradiating at least a portion of a polymeric, IOL injector with UV light in an environment comprising oxygen to provide a positive percent change in the atomic oxygen content of the polymer material at the surface as determined by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The irradiated portion is then contacted with a solution comprising a hydrophilic coating component is selected from a hydrophilic polymer, a hydrophilic copolymer or any one mixture thereof to provide a solution coated portion. The solution coated portion is then heated at a temperature to provide portions of the IOL injector with a shelf-stable, lubricious hydrophilic coating to facilitate delivery of an IOL from the injector.
