Ophthalmology

This field of medicine is experiencing an accelerated introduction of new techniques and devices. Cataract procedures and the intraocular lens insertion they require benefit immensely from micro-devices coated to minimize surface friction. The same is true for glaucoma treatments and other eye procedures where lubricious devices make both surgery and drug delivery easier and less invasive. The minuscule scale of these ophthalmological tools requires extremely precise coating applications and thicknesses.
