Silicone, as manufactured today, appears to be a biocompatible material. The safety and efficacy of silicone lenses are primarily related to the intraocular lens (IOL) design. We compared the edge finish of two three-piece polypropylene loop foldable silicone IOL designs (Allergan Medical Optics) and three one-piece designs (Staar Surgical Co., CooperVision-Cilco). Except for an early Staar one-piece design, all lenses including the more recent Staar lenses had acceptably smooth edges with minimal molding flash.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D012826 Silicone Elastomers Polymers of silicone that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties similar to vulcanized natural rubber, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical membranes and implants.
