    Abstract: A method is disclosed for modifying a plastic surface of ocular implants, said surface adapted for contact with living tissue of a human or non-human animal, by the gamma-irradiation induced or the electron beam-irradiation induced polymerized chemically grafted coating thereon of: 1) a monomer comprising N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), 2) a monomer comprising 2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (HEMA), 3) a mixture of (NVP) and (HEMA), (NVP-HEMA), or 4) a mixture of 1), 2) or 3) with up to about 50 wt%, based on the total monomer weight, of an ionic monomer, salt of an ionic monomer or mixture thereof; so as to form a hydrophillic graft polymer coating of: I. polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), II. poly-2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (PHEMA), III. a copolymer of (NVP) and (HEMA), ÄP(NVP-HEMA)Ü, or IV. a copolymer of (NVP), (HEMA), or (NVP-HEMA) and said ionic monomer, on said surface, the improvement comprising: conducting said gamma-irradiation induced graft polymerisation in an aqueous solution under the following conditions: a) monomer concentration in the range of from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight; b) total gamma (or total electron beam irradiation) dose in the range of from about 0.001 to less than about 0.50 Mrad; and c) gamma dose rate in the range of from about 10 to about 2500 rads/min or an electron beam irradiation dose rate in the range of from about 10 to about 10 rads/min.
