Abstract: Provided are monomers of formula (I), polymerizable compositions comprising the monomer of formula (I) optionally together with other co-polymerizable monomers and polymers obtained or obtainable from the polymerizable compositions, where the monomer of formula (I) is represented thus: Wherein —R1 is —H or alkyl; —Z— is -0-, —NH—, or —N(R)—, where —R is optionally substituted alkyl or aryl; -Ar1 and -Ar2 are each independently optionally substituted aryl; and —R2 is —H, or optionally substituted alkyl or aryl.

Abstract: Hydrogels, methods of preparing hydrogels, and ophthalmic lenses comprising hydrogels are described. Fully hydrated embodiments of the hydrogels have relatively high water content and oxygen permeability, along with relatively low modulus of elasticity. Embodiments of the hydrogels in substantially dehydrated condition are adapted to lathe cutting at or above room temperature. Embodiments of contact lenses made with the silicone hydrogels have low on-eye water loss.
