METHOD FOR PRODUCING CONTACT LENS MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SOFT CONTACT LENS

摘要

Provided is a contact lens material having a smooth surface with good water wettability and durability. In the method of manufacturing a contact lens material comprising a contact lens base material and a coating formed on at least a portion of a surface of the above base material, the contact lens base material is processed by plasma polymerization in a mixed gas atmosphere of methane and moist air, and then treated with plasma in a nonpolymerizable gas atmosphere to form the above coating. Further provided is a method of manufacturing a soft contact lens wherein water is introduced into the contact lens material manufactured by the above method to obtain a soft contact lens.
