Abstract: The invention is related to a colorant composition for the colored silicone hydrogel contact lens. The colorant composition improves the adhesion of the colorant to the surface of the silicon hydrogel contact lens and enhances the hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. The present colorant composition comprises a polydimethylsiloxane, at least one hydrophilic monomer and a polydopamine-modified colorant.

Abstract: The invention is related to a colorant composition used for the color layer in a colored contact lens. The colorant composition improves the adhesion of the colorant to the surface of the contact lens and provides more hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. The colorant composition for the color layer comprises at least one hydrophilic monomer, an adhesive resin, a film-forming agent and a polydopamine-modified colorant.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a colored contact lens which comprises the steps of: (a) forming a contact lens by polymerizing a polymerizable lens forming material in a mold, wherein the lens forming material includes at least one reactive group; (b) contacting at least a part of the contact lens with a dye solution for a period of time sufficient to form a colored layer within the contact lens, wherein the dye solution includes at least one dye of ?-sulphatoethyl sulphone substituted with a sulfonate group; (c) immersing the contact lens with colored layer in a fixing solution; and (d) washing the contact lens; wherein the colored layer is covalently attached to the contact lens.
