METHOD FOR COATING LENS MATERIAL

摘要

This invention relates generally to a method for treatment of lens surfaces by first coating the mold material with a reactive macromonomer and subsequently casting and curing the lens forming material along with the coating material present on the surface of the mold. The macromonomer reacts with the lens monomer mix and is covalently bound to the lens matrix. The modified lenses may ultimately show enhanced wettability, inhibition of bacterial adhesion and lower levels of protein and lipid deposition leading to increased comfort and longer wearing times.
