Abstract: Disclosed herein is a multilayered article comprising a first layer having a surface texture on a first surface; and a second layer contacting the surface texture on the first layer; where the surface texture comprises a plurality of identical patterns; each pattern being defined by a plurality of spaced apart features attached to or projected into the first surface, at least one spaced apart feature having a dimension of about 1 nanometer to about 1 millimeter, the plurality of features each having at least one neighboring feature having a substantially different geometry, wherein each pattern has at least one feature which is identical to a feature of a neighboring pattern and shares that feature with the neighboring pattern, wherein an average spacing between adjacent spaced apart features is about 1 nanometer to about 1 millimeter in at least a portion of the first surface, wherein the plurality of spaced apart features are represented by a periodic function.

Abstract: Generally, an intraocular implant having on the external surface a plurality of pattern surface elements disposed in spaced apart relation defining a tortuous pathway adapted to control a flow of fluid or a flow of particles suspended in a fluid or inhibit the growth or migration of cells is provided. In particular, an intraocular implant that is implanted between an intraocular lens and the surface of the posterior capsule of the eye inhibits growth or migration of residual lens epithelial cells after cataract surgery by providing structural barriers to reduce posterior capsule opacification of the eye.
