Polymers and methods for ophthalmic applications

Abstract

The disclosure relates to novel methods and materials particularly useful for ophthalmic applications and to methods for making and using the same. More particularly, the disclosure relates to relatively soft, optically transparent, foldable, high refractive index materials particularly suited for use in the production of intraocular lenses, contact lenses, and other ocular implants and to methods for manufacturing and implanting IOLs made therefrom.
