A method of making a contact lens comprising the steps of reacting in a mold a polymerizable formulation comprising at least one fluorine-containing silicone monomer at least one non-fluorine-containing silicone monomer and at least one hydrophilic monomer to form a contact lens, subjecting the contact lens to one or more solvent extraction steps to remove impurities, oligomers and unreacted monomers and hydrate the contact lens, wherein all of the solvent extraction steps are undertaken using an aqueous solvent.
