Abstract
Surface modified medical devices such as intraocular lens implants formed from one or more functional group-containing materials using reactive, hydrophilic polymers with catalyst functionality for the purpose of reducing or eliminating lens epithelial cell growth thereon, reducing or eliminating silicone oil absorption upon subsequent surgical exposure and/or reducing implantation inserter friction is provided herein. Additionally, a method of making and using surface modified intraocular lens implants is provided.
