Patent ID: 8759414

Claim:
An intraocular lens capable of being folded or rolled for implantation into an eye, the intraocular lens comprising a polymer composition, wherein the polymer composition is prepared by polymerisation of: a) at least one main monomer (a) having the following formula: wherein: X is O or NR c ; Y is O, S or NR c ; R is a straight, branched or cyclic hydrocarbon residue with 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R a is hydrogen or a methyl residue; R b is hydrogen, a C 1 -C 5 alkyl residue or Y—Ar 3 ; R c is hydrogen, a straight, branched or cyclic hydrocarbon residue with 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an aryl group; Ar 1 , Ar 2 and Ar 3 are each independently an aryl group which is bonded to Y by way of a direct bond or by way of a (—CH 2 —) n linkage, wherein n is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and b) a crosslinking monomer (b).
