We describe here a preparation of pincushion structures with holes, hexagonally arranged microrings, and microdots by simple heating and peeling of self-organized honeycomb-patterned films. We have reported that the honeycomb-patterned films can be prepared by casting the solution of an

Bisphenol-A polycarbonate has been investigated as an improved polymer for ocular implants, especially for intraocular lenses (IOLs). Polycarbonate properties afford special opportunities for development of tougher, stronger, one-piece IOLs. Autoclave or gamma sterilizability and a higher refractive index may provide
