Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide coated intraocular lenses and other medical implants.SOLUTION: Coated medical implants have an implant body 110 configured for securing in or adjacent to body tissue of a patient. The implant body has an implant surface and a coating 170 is formed on at least a portion of the implant surface. The coating includes a coating outer surface of a first chemical component 130 that is chemically bonded to a carboxylate functionality of a second chemical component 140. The second chemical component is immobilized by amide linkage to an underlying third chemical component 150 that is plasma coated directly onto implant body surfaces. The coating either inhibits or prevents the adhesion of protein and/or cellular proliferation or may be a non-fouling coating.
