Polymeric materials and methods that realize a gel-type intraocular lens
that is formed in situ within the lens capsule of the eye. The polymeric
material of the intraocular lens includes reactive end groups that
effectively bond with lens capsule walls, thus eliminating space between
the intraocular lens and the lens capsule walls and significantly
reducing the proliferation of lens epithelial cells which can cause
unwanted posterior capsule opacification.
