Abstract

The development of perfluoropolyether (PFPE) polymers for corneal implants to correct the refractive power of the eye was discussed. In vitro testing on the onlay material showed that it supported corneal epithelial attachment and growth and epithelial tissue migration. It was also found that in viv testing, lenticules implanted in a corneal flap in rabbits maintained excellent biocompatibility and transparency for >18 months. Histological examination showed that a stratified epithelium had covered the anterior surface of the lenticule providing proof of principle of a true synthetic corneal onlay.
