Abstract: To improve biocompatibility and transmittance of polymethyl methacrylate intraocular lens(PMMA IOL), the surface of PMMA IOL was treated by CF4/O2 redio-frequency(RF)-plasma. The modified PMMA IOLs were characterized by the attenuated total reflectance Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy(ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), the contact angle(CA) measurement, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis), respectively. The results indicated that the treatment of CF4/O2 RF-plasma could make the modified PMMA IOL not only increase the contents of fluorine and oxygen, hydrophilicity and anti-ultroviolet radiation but also improve biocompatibility. Based on these results, the treatment of CF4/O2 RF-plasma is an effective method to improve the performance of PMMA IOL.
