[Scientific Journal cover picture] Intraocular lenses: Antibacterial Nanopillar Array for an Implantable Intraocular Lens (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 18/2020)

Scientific Journal cover picture

Sung Gap Im, Kyoung G. Lee, and their co-workers have developed a novel approach for the monolithic antibacterial functionalization of intraocular lenses (IOLs). By using an ionic polymer-coated nanopillar array (NPA), they achieved excellent antibacterial performance, which works by rupturing and destabilizing bacterial membranes. This innovative strategy aims to prevent potential bacterial infections and avoid the need for IOL replacement after cataract surgery.-Scientific Journal cover design by scapiens
