Article Synopsis
- Current intraocular lenses (IOLs) differ in elastic modulus from the natural human lens, affecting their ability to adjust focus after implantation.
- Researchers created a polyacrylamide-sodium acrylate hydrogel (PAH) that has high transparency, a refractive index similar to the human lens, and excellent biocompatibility.
- The hydrogel's tensile modulus closely matches the human lens, allowing it to effectively respond to the ciliary muscle tension for improved focal adjustment.
