Clear, room temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber (RTV) has already been shown to have well-defined optical and mechanical properties that allow its use as an active optical element. In this work RTV is considered as a possible material for substitution of damaged and/or diseased parts of the human eye, such as the cornea and crystalline lens. The interaction of cured and uncured RTV with eye tissue and eyelike tissue was investigated, and the results support the use of this material in the eye.
透明的室温硫化硅橡胶（RTV）已被证明具有明确的光学和机械性能，使其能够用作有源光学元件。在这项工作中，RTV被视为一种可能替代人眼受损和/或患病部位（如角膜和晶状体）的材料。研究了固化和未固化的RTV与眼组织和类眼组织的相互作用，结果支持了这种材料在眼部的应用。
