Ophthalmic Biomaterials
Biomaterials engineering has been instrumental in advancing ophthalmologic medicine, from conventional strategies for vision correction to innovative treatments for ocular trauma or disease. Interventions often feature highly-engineered medical devices with stringent performance criteria, as with contact and intraocular lenses, tissue scaffolds and hydrogels for sustained drug delivery.
Polysciences’ polymer and hydrogel precursors support the development of biocompatible materials with optical, mechanical and surface properties tailored to the demands of specific applications.
