Abstract: Methods of producing an intraocular lens include introducing a solution into a lens forming enclosure, wherein the solution comprises discrete crosslinkable units of a size small enough to provide an optically clear solution while contributing to a high refractive index of at least 1.3, performing crosslinking between the units of the solution, and thereby forming a solid lens in the enclosure, optionally under a forming pressure.
