    Abstract: The invention provides a polysiloxane vinylic monomer which comprises (1) a polysiloxane polymer chain comprising at least 5 dimethylsiloxane units in a consecutive sequence, (2) one sole terminal (meth)acryloyl or styrenyl group, and (3) a quaternary ammonium moiety. Due to presence of the quaternary ammonium moiety, a polysiloxane vinylic monomer of the invention is relatively compatible with hydrophilic vinylic monomers used in a silicone hydrogel lens formulation for making silicone hydrogel contact lenses. The present invention is also related to a silicone hydrogel contact lens, which comprises repeating units of a polysiloxane vinylic monomer of the invention.

    Abstract: The invention is generally related to a soft contact lens which comprises a hydrogel lens body and a coating thereon and to a method for producing the same. The hydrogel lens body is composed of a crosslinked polymeric material comprising repeating units of at least one arylborono-containing vinylic monomer having a boronic acid group, and the coating comprises a layer of a phosphorylcholine-containing polymer which comprises (a) repeating units of vinyl alcohol, and (b) repeating units of 6-membered acetal ring substituted with a phosphorylcholine-containing group. The coating is covalently-attached to the hydrogel lens body through cyclic boronic ester linkages each formed between one of the boronic acid groups of the crosslinked polymeric material and one of the 1,2-diol and 1,3-diol moieties of the phosphorylcholine-containing polymer.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method for producing HEVL-filtering contact lenses in a relatively efficient and consistent manner from a polymerizable composition under a controlled thermal curing scheme. The polymerizable composition comprises at least one N-vinyl amide monomer and at least one Cu(II)-meso-aryl-substituted porphyrin free of any ethylenically unsaturated group. The resultant HEVL-filtering contact lenses each comprise a polymer matrix to which the Cu(II)-meso-aryl-substituted porphyrin is grafted or covalently attached.
