Ophthalmic application and physical properties of functional silicone monomer
Purpose : Ophthalmic soft contact lens using functional silicone monomer were manufactured and the physical properties of copolymerized materials were analyzed. Methods : The materials for ophthalmic hydrogel contact lenses were polymerized by adding 1,3-bis(TDS) and acrylated poly-(dimethyl siloxane) to DMA, HEMA and cross-linking agent(EGDMA) which are commonly used in ophthalmic hydrogel contact lenses. The hydrogel ophthalmic lens was manufactured by cast mould method. The manufactured ophthalmic hydrogel contact lenses were stored in a 0.9% NaCl normal saline for 24 hrs. And also, for the utility of functional silicone monomer as a high gas permeability and visible light transmittance material for ophthalmologic devices, the oxygen permeability, spectral transmittance and water contact were measured. Results : The value of oxygen permeability ranges from 16.83 to 36.59 x × sec × × . The results showed that the average value of water content decreased as the ratio of additive increased. The visible light tansmittance of copolymerized ophthalmic soft contact lenses, was in the range 89~ 92%. Conclusions : The material containing acrylate poly-(dimethyl siloxane) and methacrylate siloxane is expected to be used usefully as a material for high oxygen permeability hydrogel contact lens.
