Abstract
A method for producing an intraocular lens, comprising the steps of injecting a high-refractive index, low viscosity composition of crosslinkable units into an enclosure and initiating polymerization under pressure to create a synthetic polymer lens. The method is especially suitable for producing an intraocular lens directly in the capsular bag of the eye from an injected aqueous solution of macromolecular particles, which can undergo a crosslinking reaction to a solid lens when exposed to light.
