| abstract |
Ophthalmic devices suitable for implantation into the eye through small incisions are disclosed. These devices are made from a composition comprising crystalline or semi-crystalline polymeric materials which have a glass transition temperature (T g ) of from about −100° C. to about 20° C., a melting point temperature (T m ) of from about 0° C. to about 37° C., and wherein T g for the material is lower than T m for the composition. Disclosed devices include intraocular lenses, corneal inlays, ocular drug delivery devices and implants for reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients; intraocular lenses are preferred. |
