Patent ID: 8491651

Claim:
An intraocular lens system comprising: a first intraocular lens that includes a body defining an outer surface and a coating disposed on a region of the outer surface of the body, the body of the first intraocular lens being formed of a hydrophobic material and the coating of the first intraocular lens being formed of a hydrophilic material or a super-hydrophobic material; and a second intraocular lens that includes a body defining an outer surface, the second intraocular lens being disposed adjacent the first lens thereby forming an interlenticular space between the first lens and the second lens, wherein: i) the coating of the first intraocular lens faces and opposes the outer surface of the second intraocular lens; and ii) the coating of the first intraocular lens is located directly adjacent and at least partially defines the interlenticular space: and attachment members connecting the first intraocular lens to the second intraocular lens as dual optic intraocular lenses; wherein the hydrophobic material has a contact angle that is at least 50 degrees but no greater than 85 degrees, the super-hydrophobic material has a contact angle that is at least 90 degrees and the hydrophilic material has a contact angle that is no greater than 45 degrees.
