A polymer comprising hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties is provided. The polymer can be formed into a hydrogel capable of being used as a contact lens. The lens can exhibit high water content such as for example more than 70 wt. % for biocompatibility and structural stability for handling. The hydrophilic portion can be 2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate (GMA) and the hydrophobic portion can be 2-methoxyethyl methacrylate (MOEMA). Additionally, the lens can also include N,N-dimethylacrylamide (NN-DMA). Lens can be prepared and formed by molding including a cast molding process or a half cast molding process. |
