Poly(styrene-block-isobutylene-block-styrene) (SIBS) and its crosslinked product crosslinked polyisobutylene (xPIB) are a kind of novel thermoplastic elastomer. They have excellent biocompatibility and stability, which are suitable for long-term implantation in human body. At present, SIBS is widely used in cardiovascular diseases, and also has preliminary application in ophthalmology. This article reviews the application and research progress of SIBS and xPIB in ophthalmic glaucoma minimally drainage tube material, intraocular lens material, new sclera buckle material and orbital defect filler, with a view of providing reference for the clinical application of such biomedical materials in ophthalmology.
