<p>A process for preparing silicone hydrogel contact lenses where machining operations are employed to produce a lens having a desired final shape comprises: providing a monomeric mixture comprising a silicone-containing monomer, a hydrophilic monomer and an organic diluent; charging the mixture to a mold and curing the formulation in the mold to obtain a shaped article; removing organic diluent from the shaped article to improve machineability of the article; and machining the shaped article to obtain a contact lens having a desired configuration.</p> |
