Abstract
Intraocular lenses and methods producing the same are provided. The intraocular lens includes an optic and a haptic that are integrally formed together. The haptic has a polyimide coating. The polyimide coating promotes fibrosis in the surrounding eye tissue to enhance the anchoring of the IOL after it is implanted in an eye.
