BIOCOMPATIBLE CARBON NANOLAYERS FOR COATING LENSES

As previous studies indicated, diamond-like carbon (DLC) layers exhibit outstanding biocompatible properties. Additionally, due to high hardness and transmittance in infrared visible parts of spectra it is possible utilize for application ophthalmic optics. DLC are suitable coating spectacle lenses, contact lenses even intraocular lenses. In this paper, we focused on wear resistance different commercially available with surface modification layer. The lens depends base material its modification. Commercially manufactured usual 90±5%, while coated was lower by 15%. Wear strongly dependent results were similar or better than
