Definitions
- This invention relates to contact lenses, and in particular to pliable or "soft" contact lens having an exceptional combination of oxygen permeability, strength, and resistance to protein and mucus deposits.
- pliable or "soft" contact lens having an exceptional combination of oxygen permeability, strength, and resistance to protein and mucus deposits.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,130,706 to Plambeck, Jr. proposes a methacrylate-type fluoropolymer ("FMA") for making contact lenses. While the lenses are described as hydrophilic and oxygen permeable, it is believed that they are not wettable enough to be truly comfortable to persons wearing the lenses and are not sufficiently permeable to oxygen to be worn safely and continuously for extended periods.
- FMA methacrylate-type fluoropolymer
- U.S. Patent No. 3,940,207 to Barkdoll proposes contact lenses constructed of fluorine- containing polymers that are soft and have a low refractive index. It is believed that these contact lenses are not sufficiently oxygen permeable to be worn safely for extended periods.
- DMA N,N-dimethylacrylamide
- hydrogel copolymer which can be used to form an easily fabricated pliable contact lens having the combination of oxygen permeability, wettability and resistance to protein and mucus deposits.
- the present invention relates to a hydrogel copolymer for making contact lenses, the copolymer comprising, by weight, about 10 percent to about 85 percent of ⁇ -methylene-N-methylpyrrolidone or glycerdyl methacrylate and mixtures thereof, from about 5 to about 25 percent of N,N-dimethylacrylamide, about 5 percent to about 80 percent of a polymerizable fluoromonomer, and about 1 percent to about 15 percent of a polymerizable hydrophophic , non-hydrolyzable silicone monomer.
- an initiator and a crosslinker are employed under circumstances disclosed below.
- the copolymer comprises, by weight, from about 10 to 85 percent ⁇ -methylene-N-methylpyrrolidone, from about 5 to about 85 percent of glycerdyl methacrylate, from about 5 to about 60 percent of a polymerizable fluoromonomer, and from about 1 to about 15 percent of a polymerizable hydrophobic non-hydrolyzable silicone monomer.
- the copolymer comprises, by weight, from about 40 to about 90 percent of ⁇ -methylene-N-methylpyrrolidone and from about 10 to about 60 percent of a polymerizable fluoromonomer such as fluoroacyrlates, styryl fluoro onomers and vinyl fluoromonomers.
- a polymerizable fluoromonomer such as fluoroacyrlates, styryl fluoro onomers and vinyl fluoromonomers.
- the present invention utilizes in various combinations, as described below ⁇ -methylene-N- methylpyrrolidone ("Q.-MMP") or glycerdyl methacrylate (“GMA”) and mixtures thereof, N,N-dimethyl methacrylamide, a polymerizable fluoromonomer, a polymerizable hydrophobic, non-hydrolyzable silicone monomer, an initiator, and a crosslinker.
- Q.-MMP ⁇ -methylene-N- methylpyrrolidone
- GMA glycerdyl methacrylate
