Abstract

Biphasic hydrogel polymers are in the forefront of new extended wear contact lens development. In the biphasic hydrogel the objective is to produce co-continuous domains of siloxane units for high oxygen permeability, coupled with hydrophilic units forming aqueous channels for hydraulic and ion mobility. These are distributed in phase separated nano-scale regions such that the material is optically clear while achieving the required properties to maintain corneal health and lens movement.
