Effect of time and temperature-dependent changes of IOL material properties on IOL: Lens capsule interactions

Effect of surface-modified intraocular lenses on long-term postoperative inhibition of posterior capsule opacification

“…Recently, surface modified IOLs using new methods such as photodynamic coating, have been investigated [ 30 ]. These studies have reported that the hydrophobicity of acrylic IOLs decreases at body temperature, resulting in stronger adhesion between the IOL and the posterior capsule [ 31 ]. In order to elucidate a method to completely prevent PCO, it is necessary to verify the PCO suppression effect of XY1 in detail, including comparisons with other surface treatment methods and conduct further research.…”
