HYDROPHOBIC ACRYLIC POLYMER MATERIAL FOR AN INTRAOCULAR LENS, HAVING AN ENHANCED FLEXIBILITY DUE TO THE USE OF A TRANSFER AGENT

摘要

The material of the invention is obtained by radical polymerization from a mixture of acrylic and/or methacrylic monomers. The mixture further contains at least one transfer agent, preferably from the thiol family, that substantially enhances the flexibility of the polymer material thus obtained, and reduces the tackiness thereof. The polymer material thus obtained is intended for making ophthalmologic implants, and more particularly, intraocular lenses.
