High refractive index and optically clear copoly(carbosilane and siloxane) elastomers

摘要

High refractive index and optically clear copoly(carbosilane and siloxane) elastomers and ophthalmic lenses made therefrom are provided. The elastomers are comprised of copolymers having carbosilane repeat units and siloxane repeat units. The copolymers and ophthalmic lenses of the present invention have a high refractive index and excellent folding recoverability.
