Abstract

Intraocular lens materials are disclosed. They are soft and very deformable and have a high refractive index, and a high glistening resistance in fully hydrated state. They are particularly suitable for making wet-packed intraocular lenses (IOLs) which can be delivered through sub 2.0 mm incisions.
