This part of ISO 11979 specifies particular requirements for the biocompatibility evaluation of materials for intraocular lenses (lOLs) including the processing conditions to produce them. These requirements include evaluation of physicochemical properties that are relevant to biocompatibility. It also gives guidance on conducting an ocular implantation test.
