A process is disclosed for the preparation of hydrogel contact lenses having improved mechanical properties, said process comprising polymerizing, in the presence of an azo type initiator, a monomer mixture comprising from 25% to 50% by weight of N-vinyl pyrrolidone, up to 5% by weight of methacrylic or acrylic acid, 0.1 to 1% by weight of 1,3,5-tris(propenoxy)-2,4,6-triazine (TPT), or perhydro-2,4,6,-triketo-1,3,5,-tris (propene-2)- 1,3,5 - triazine (T.T.P.T.), as a cross-linking monomer, the balance being essentially hydroxy alkyl acrylate or methacrylate, wherein the alkyl group is ethyl or propyl.
