Abstract

"Biocompatibility": meaning, investigation and importance for intra-ocular lenses. As PMMA isn't as biocompatible as initially thought, one searches for other materials on the one hand and tries to modify the surface of the PMMA on the other. For the latter only the HSM (heparin surface modifying) technique is currently used.
