Patent ID: 8658748

Claim:
A silicone hydrogel contact lens, comprising: a polymeric lens body that is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition, said polymerizable composition comprising (a) a first siloxane monomer represented by formula (1): wherein m of formula (1) represents one integer from 3 to 10, n of formula (1) represents one integer from 1 to 10, R 1 of formula (1) is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 2 of formula (1) is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and (b) a second siloxane monomer which is a dual-end methacrylate end-capped polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000 daltons; wherein the silicone hydrogel contact lens, when fully hydrated, has an energy loss from about 25% to about 45%.
