High water-absorptive soft contact lens

摘要

A highly water-absorptive soft contact lens made of a copolymer comprising (A) 10 to 40 parts by weight of an acrylate or methacrylate polymer having a hydrophilic group and at least one polymerizable group in its molecule and (B) 90 to 60 parts by weight of a hydrophilic monomer selected from the group consisting of a N-vinyllactam, acrylamide, N-substituted acrylamide derivative, methacrylamide and N-substituted methacrylamide derivative; the total amount of the components (A) and (B) being 100 parts by weight. The soft contact lens has a high water content, excellent oxygen permeability, transparency and excellent physical properties.
