Lens Surface

An intraocular lens (IOL) is a synthetic, artificial lens placed inside the eye that replaces a natural lens that is surgically removed, usually as part of cataract surgery. The opacification of the artificial lens can be related to the formation of the sediments on its surface and could seriously impair vision. The physicochemical analysis was performed on an explanted hydrophilic IOL and compared to the unused one, considered as a reference IOL. The studies were carried out using surface sensitive techniques, which can contribute to a better understanding of the sedimentation process on hydrophilic IOLs’ surfaces. The microscopic studies allowed us to determine the morphology of sediments observed on explanted IOL. The photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed the presence of organic and inorganic compounds at the lens surface. Mass spectroscopy measurements confirmed the chemical composition of deposits and allowed for chemical imaging of the IOL surface. Applied techniques allowed to obtain a new set of information approximating the origin of the sediments’ formation on the surface of the hydrophilic IOLs after Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty.

Lens Surface

ABSTRACTA micro domain structure, which hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups were arrayed alternately, was formed on the surface of an intraocular lens [IOL] by using ultra violet rays [VUV]. With this technique, the IOL that is free from fibrin has been developed. In order to substitute the hydrophilic groups in matrix-form on the surface, an ArF laser light was then irradiated on the hydrophobic surface in the presence of water for the −OH groups, through the 50-micrometer dot-patterned reticle. With this selective photochemical surface modification, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups were arrayed alternately on the sample surface. The modified IOL was soaked in 0.1-wt % fibrin solutions, and the fibrin-sticking rate was measured by using an infrared spectroscopy [FT-IR]. It results that the absorption coefficient of amide band reached to 0.0006, decreasing to one-six of non-treatment sample's.
