Publication number: 20120169993Abstract: A colored contact lens having a non-opaque pupil section, an iris section surrounding said pupil section, and a colored, opaque, intermittent pattern over the iris section which is indiscernible to the ordinary viewer. The pattern is made up of a first portion having a first shade, a second portion having a second shade different from the first shade, and a third portion having a shade different from the second portion and either the same or different from the first portion. A first uneven border differentiates the first and second portions, and a second uneven border differentiates the second and third portions, however, said portions may overlap. The lens is capable of changing appearance of the iris of the person wearing the lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2011Publication date: July 5, 2012Inventor: Gerardo J. Ocampo

Patent number: 7201481Abstract: This invention is directed to ophthalmic materials and ophthalmic lenses that are a co-polymerization product of a (a) hydrophilic monomer with (b) a tris(siloxy)silyl group-containing monomer, (c) a wide variety of hydrophobic monomers (both aliphatic and aromatic) and usually a (d) polyfluorinated monomer, as well as optional monomers or monomer mixtures that can include a cationic monomer, a non-aromatic hydrophobic monomer and a poly(dimethylsiloxy)silyl group-containing monomer. A contact lens prepared from such a co-polymer exhibits enhanced water content, while maintaining exceptional oxygen permeability, thereby providing a lens that can be worn comfortably for prolonged periods of time. A process for the preparation of such lenses is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2003Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Howard S. Rosenzweig, Michael H.

Patent number: 6312127Abstract: Adding a small quantity of a violet colorant to a contact lens material provides a clear contact lens that has no apparent undesirable yellow tint, such as caused by a UV-absorbing compound. Further, the violet colorant can also be used with a colored lens, in the absence of the handling tint, to mask any undesirable yellow tint, such as that produced by a UV-absorbing compound. The violet colorant will not unacceptably alter the modifying color of the colored lens.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: Wesley Jessen CorporationInventor: Gerardo J.
