Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are commonly implanted after surgical removal of a cataractous
lens. A variety of IOL materials are currently available, including collamer, hydrophobic …

Intraocular lenses are being progressively implanted in much earlier stages of life (refractive
lens exchange, pediatric implantation) and are expected to remain in the intraocular …

To improve the surface biocompatibility of the silicone intraocular lens (IOL), 2‐
methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) was tethered onto the IOL through air …

Intraocular lens (IOL) is an efficient implantable device commonly used for treating cataracts.
However, bioadhesion of bacteria or residual lens epithelial cells on the IOL surface after …

As a result of inflammatory processes, plaque formation on dental titanium implants often
leads to clinically pathogenic situations. This special biofilm formation on (bio) materials in …

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common complication in cataract surgery. The
development of PCO is attributed to the combination of adhesion, migration, proliferation …

Purpose: To determine in vitro whether titanium is superior in corneal cell compatibility to
standard polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) for the Boston Keratoprosthesis (KPro). Methods …

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) oximetry is a powerful technology that allows the
monitoring of oxygenation in tissues. The measurement of tissue oxygenation can be …

The last 30 years has seen a proliferation of research on protein-resistant biomaterials
targeted at designing bio-inert surfaces, which are prerequisite for optimal performance of …
