Abstract
Results for two elastomeric silicone intraocular lens materials. The chemical, optical, and mechanical properties of the two materials were evaluated, as was their stability to hydrolytic and ultraviolet degradation. Qualitative correlations between these properties and clinical requirements are discussed. Both silicone materials possessed the necessary properties for use as small incision intraocular lenses. aReprint requests to F. Richard Christ, Allergan Medical Optics, P.O.
