Abstract

The selection of silica porous glass being the most suitable material for manufacturing of the actuated scleral part of the eye prosthesis has been justified. The model explaining the photoluminescence intensity oscillations of porous glass during the effusion of the antibiotic out of the glass has been proposed. Multiple usage of the antibiotic has been found to lead to the etching effect of the porous glass and a method of minimization of the effect has been presented.
