Abstract
This chapter describes representative bioinspired biomaterials, synthetic phospholipid polymers, for use as soft contact lens materials with advanced biocompatibility. The chapter first reviews how the phospholipid polymer was inspired from natural phospholipids in the cell membrane in order to develop biocompatible materials and why the phospholipid polymer shows superior biocompatibility from the physicochemical and biological viewpoints. The chapter then describes the application of materials containing the phospholipid polymer in daily-wear, daily-disposable, extended-wear, and continuous-wear soft contact lenses with enhanced protein repellency, water wettability, and biocompatibility.
