Abstract

Disclosed is a method for producing an intraocular lens including an optic and at least one haptic. In one embodiment, the method comprises: exposing the lens bonding region of the haptic to a plasma at conditions effective to enhance the bondability of the lens bonding region to the optic; and bonding the exposed lens bonding region to an optic. The plasma exposed haptic may be coated with a material, e.g., to preserve the enhanced bondability property, prior to bonding the coated lens bonding portion to the optic. Intraocular lenses having enhanced haptic-optic bonding are also disclosed.
