ISO 11979-5:2006 specifies particular requirements for the biocompatibility evaluation of materials for intraocular lenses (IOLs) 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.
BS EN ISO 11979-5:2006 Ophthalmic implants - Intraocular lenses - Biocompatibility has been changed from BS EN 13503-5:2001 Ophthalmic implants - Intraocular lenses - Shelf-life and transport stability.
