Abstract
Intraocular lens coating compositions for reducing the risk of posterior capsule opacification are disclosed. The coating materials, which differ from the substrate material, consist essentially of at least two aryl acrylic hydrophobic monomers of the formula wherein: X is H or CH3; m is 0-10; Y is nothing, O, S, or NR wherein R is H, CH3, CnH2n+1 (n=1−10) iso OC3H7, C6H5, or CH2C6H5; Ar is any aromatic ring which can be unsubstituted or substituted with CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, iso-C3H7, OCH3, C6H11, Cl, Br, C6H5, or CH2C6H5.
Claims7
A coated intraocular lens comprising a substrate material and a coating material for making the intraocular lens more biocompatible and reducing the risk of posterior capsule opacification, wherein the coating material is different than the substrate material and the coating material consists essentially of at least two aryl acrylic hydrophobic monomers of the formula
- wherein:
- X is H or CH3;
- m is 0-1;
- Y is nothing, O, S, or NR wherein R is H, CH3, CnH2n+1 (n=1−10) iso OC3H7, C6H5, or CH2C6H5;
- Ar is any aromatic ring which can be unsubstituted or substituted with CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, iso-C3H7, OCH3, C6H11,Cl, Br, C6H5, or CH2C6H5.
