Patent ID: 8361146

Claim:
A method for making an intraocular lens, comprising: forming an intraocular lens from a copolymer comprising monomeric subunits, wherein the monomeric subunits comprise: (a) one or more hydrophobic monomers, which can be the same or different; and (b) one or more alkoxyalkyl methacrylate monomers, which can be the same or different, and/or one or more alkoxyalkyl acrylate monomers, which can be the same or different, further wherein the primary monomeric subunits of the copolymer by weight are the one or more alkoxyalkyl methacrylate and/or the one or more alkoxyalkyl acrylate monomers, and the one or more hydrophobic monomers are selected from alkoxyalkoxyalkyl acrylate monomers, alkoxyalkoxyalkyl methacrylate monomers, or combinations thereof.
