  • Oxygen-permeable contact lens compositions, methods and articles of manufacture
    Patent number: 4365074
    Abstract: Copolymers of acrylic or methacrylic materials of known type and reacted with novel, silicone-substituted acrylic and methacrylic compounds so as to produce an oxygen-permeable plastic material which is uniquely suitable for manufacturing novel corneal contact lenses. The silicone materials include high molecular weight polysiloxanylalkylesters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, made from acrylic or methacrylic ester silanes containing one or more highly substituted siloxanyl groups.One such siloxane substituent, pentamethyldisiloxane, is prepared by a novel method. Certain of the substituted silanes are prepared using a novel compound, tris(trimethylsiloxy) acetoxysilane.
