Patent ID: 11629255

Abstract:
The invention is generally related to an embedded silicone hydrogel contact lens comprising a silicone hydrogel material and a hydrophobic insert. The silicone hydrogel material comprises repeating units of at least one first polysiloxane vinylic crosslinker comprising hydrophilized siloxane units each having one methyl substituent and one organic radical including at least one H-bond donor (e.g., hydroxyl groups), wherein the content of said at least one H-bond donor is at least 0.8 meq/g relative to the molecular weight of said at least one first polysiloxane vinylic crosslinker. The hydrophobic insert is composed of a crosslinked polymeric material comprising at least 40% by mole of acrylic repeating units and at least 6% by mole of repeating units of at least one vinylic crosslinking agent. The embedded silicone hydrogel is not susceptible to delamination.
