The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a silicone hydrogel, including the steps of: preparing a polyethylene glycol-containing secondary or tertiary amino alcohol, a crosslinking agent having at least two epoxide rings, and a copolymerization mixture capable of performing a radical chain polymerization reaction, wherein the copolymerization mixture contains a linear silicone prepolymer, a silicone monomer, and a hydrophilic monomer, the linking process is activated by heating to let the epoxide rings of the crosslinking agent open and respectively link with the amino alcohol and any one component of the copolymerization mixture; and completing the radical chain polymerization reaction to obtain a silicone hydrogel. The present invention also provides a contact lens manufactured by the aforementioned method. The present invention distributes and affixes polyethylene glycol of the amino alcohol onto the surface of the silicone hydrogel, thus providing hydrophilicity and electrical charges to the silicone hydrogel.
