Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a method for producing silicone hydrogel contact lenses having a stable lubricious coating thereon without involving use of organic solvent in post-curing processes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to improved contact lens products which not only have an improved and sustainable wettability. The contact lens product of the invention comprises a soft hydrogel contact lens immersed and autoclaved in a packaging solution including a polyoxyethylene-polyoxybutylene block copolymer and a high molecular weight copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and at least one amino-containing vinylic monomer. The present invention also provides methods for making contact lens products of the invention.
Abstract:
This invention relates generally to disinfection and cleaning systems for medical devices. In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to compositions, methods and articles for simultaneously cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses. The present invention is directed to ophthalmic compositions containing one or more block copolymers referred to as (polyoxyethylene)-(poly-oxybutylene) block copolymers (“PEO-PBO”). The invention is particularly directed to the use of PEO-PBO di-block copolymers as non-foaming wetting agents in peroxide-based compositions for disinfecting contact lenses.
