METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING POLYMERIC HYDROGEL INTRAOCULAR LENSES Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: ophthalmology; production of prosthetic intraocular lenses. SUBSTANCE: inventive novelty of proposed method resides in fact that it employs, as cross-linking agent, vanadium-containing complex compound, namely: penta-(dimethylsulphoxide) vanadyl diperchlorate having formula VD(DMSO)₅(ClO₄)₂,, and in fact that following mixture is subjected to copolymerization, wt. parts: hydroxymethacylate 70 cross-linking agent 0.01-0.1 water 29.90-29.99. EFFECT: method makes it possible to obtain cheap and good-quality polymer for production of synthetic intraocular lenses. 1 tbl
