摘要:
Methods and materials are disclosed for the production of optical elements, in particular intraocular lenses (IOL) that incorporate any amount (0 to 99%) of refraction and/or shape modulating compound into a substantially crosslinked first polymeric matrix. The materials produced according to the inventive methods exhibit certain rheological parameters useful in defining medical lenses. These medical lenses have the ability to change their refractive power via changing the refractive index and/or by altering the shape by stimulus induced polymerization.
摘要:
Novel optical elements are provided which are capable of post fabrication modifications. Specifically, the invention includes lenses, such as intraocular lens, which can undergo changes in storage modulus after fabrication.
摘要:
The present invention relates to lenses that are capable of post-fabrication power modifications. In general, the inventive lenses comprise (i) a first polymer matrix and (ii) a refraction modulating composition that is capable of stimulus-induced polymerization dispersed therein. When at least a portion of the lens is exposed to an appropriate stimulus, the refraction modulating composition forms a second polymer matrix. The amount and location of the second polymer matrix may modify a lens characteristic such as lens power by changing its refractive index and/or by altering its shape. The inventive lenses have a number of applications in the electronics and medical fields as data storage means and as medical lenses, particularly intraocular lenses, respectively.
