Abstract

See full text

Atomic level surface smoothing utilizing GCIB to smooth and round the IOL's outer edges to reduce the 'edge effect' and its resultant glare. In addition, the present invention provides, atomic level surface smoothing utilizing GCIB to smooth the IOL's posterior and/or anterior surfaces to improve the adhesion of the IOL to the capsule, preventing cell in-growth and their resultant secondary cataract. The GCIB smoothed surfaces will also reduce inflammatory response by reducing foreign particles on the surface and by reducing the micro-roughness normally inherent on the IOL surface.
