Abstract: The surface modification of intraocular lens (IOL) can effectively reduce the risk of endophthalmitis and postoperative infection associated with cataract surgery. According to the effect materials modified by IOL, the surface modification of IOL can be divided into two categories, drug loading and non-drug loading modification. Drug-loaded IOL surface modification can be achieved by "coating", such as critical fluid impregnation, polymer/pharmaceutical chemical coating technology and "immersion". Antibiotics such as moxifloxacin are loaded on the surface of IOL to prevent endophthalmitis. Surface hydrophilic modification of hydrophobic IOL to inhibit the adhesion of lens epithelial cells can prevent the occurrence of after-cataract and endophthalmitis.
