What Nanomaterials are Used in Nanocoatings for IOLs?
Several types of nanomaterials can be used in nanocoatings for IOLs, including:
Silica nanoparticles: Known for their optical clarity and biocompatibility. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles: Used for their anti-bacterial and anti-reflective properties. Silver nanoparticles: Effective in providing anti-microbial properties to the IOLs. Gold nanoparticles: Known for their stability and biocompatibility. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles: Used for their UV-blocking and anti-bacterial properties.
