ULTRA VIOLET, VIOLET, AND BLUE LIGHT FILTERING POLYMERS FOR OPHTHALMIC APPLICATIONS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ophthalmic devices, specifically intraocular lenses (IOL), with improved contrast sensitivity, and methods of making the same.;SOLUTION: In one aspect, blue light blocking chromophores (BLBC) are diffused into, e.g., an IOL lens body to create a BLBC gradient in the lens. Orange dyes are preferred BLBCs.;SELECTED DRAWING: None;COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
