Hydrophilic Acrylic Foldable Intraocular Lens with Water Contents
26%
The first foldable IOLs were developed in the 1950s, and were made
of hydrogels. Hydrogels are hydrophilic networks of polymers that
swell extensively on contact with water; they vary in size and
properties, depending in part on their water content. In the
hydrated state, hydrogels are flexible, clear, non-immunogenic and
resemble living tissue – making them an excellent material to make
foldable IOLs from (albeit a material that was considerably more
expensive than PMMA). As water saturation determines hydrogel size,
it means that you can implant a semi-hydrated lens through a small
incision, and it will expand in the eye as it becomes fully
hydrated.

are copolymers of HEMA and PMMA, with water contents of 26%, and
are much more resistant to deformation and opacification.

Indications:
- Cataract on both eyes.
- Cataract of single eye in patients, who is unwilling or unfitful to
wear corneal contact lens
- Aphakic eye caused by various reasons
Instruction for Use
- Examine the type, diopter power, size, the period of validity
indicated on the outside package label. DO NOT USE if the
expiration date has passed.
- Take out the tyvek pounch and check that there is no damage on it,
verify that lens power, size, type on the vial are same with the
data on the outside label.
- Open the pounch under the aseptic place, open the lens case after
final confirmation of lens model and diopter power, take out IOL
very carefully and implant IOL into eyes.
- Rinse the IOL with infusion solution or the equivalent.
Precautions
- Do not use the One-piece Posterior Chamber Foldable
Intraocular Lens if it is after expiration date.
- Do not try to re-sterilize the One-piece Posterior Chamber
Foldable Intraocular Lens.
- The surgeon must be the person who had observed and assisted IOL
implantation surgery many times, must be also the person , who has
been ophthalmologist with rich experience and independently
completed the IOL omplantation successfully for at least one time.
