Although a silicone IOL shows maximal adherence to silicone oil, other lens biomaterials are not immune to this complication. Silicone oil coverage was related to the dispersive energy component of the surface charge of the IOL biomaterial. Low dispersive energy materials had less silicone oil coverage, while those with higher dispersive energy had more oil coverage.

Proliferation of lens epithelial cells through a large positioning hole in a plate-haptic silicone IOL may improve the long-term security of capsular bag fixation. This will help reduce the incidence of IOL decentration and dislocation.

Lens epithelial cell proliferation around the mini-haptics significantly improved capsular bag fixation of the plate-haptic silicone IOL. This should decrease the incidence of clinical decentration and dislocation.
