ciba company continues to be optimistic about China's fine and chemical market. As an ideal intraocular lens material in the future, its main disadvantage is that it is not able to be disinfected by high temperature and high pressure. When it exceeds 100e, PMMA will become gel. At present, it is mostly disinfected with epoxy hexane gas; Secondly, because of limited elasticity, foldable intraocular lens suitable for small incision cannot be made; The tolerance to YAG laser is limited, and the monomer released after laser treatment has biological toxicity. The automotive industry has developed. Ciba special chemicals' sales in China have an average growth rate of 15% in the first five years, reaching 395million Swiss francs (238million US dollars) in 2001, accounting for 5% of Ciba's annual sales of 7.9 billion Swiss francs.
