High refractive index copolymers suitable for use in ophthalmic devices are disclosed. The copolymers comprise a) two or more monomers of structure (I), wherein X is H or CH3; m is 0-10; Y is nothing, O, S, or NR wherein R is H, CH3, CnH2n+1(n=1-10), iso-OC3H7, C6H5, or CH2C6H5; Ar is any aromatic ring which can be unsubstituted or substituted with H, CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, iso-C3H7, OCH3, C6H11, Cl, Br, C6H5, or CH2C6H5; and b) a total of about 5 mole % or less of one or more monomers of structure (II), wherein X is H or CH3; W is -CH3 or (CH2=C(-X)-C(=O)-); and n is such that the weight average molecular weight is approximately 600-1000 if W is -CH3 and approximately 400-1000 if W is (CH2=C(-X)-C(=O)-).
