Abstract
Abstract Contact lenses and contact shells of light-refracting material consisting essentially of a copolymer of (I) from 40 to 90% by weight of methyl methacrylate and (II) from 10 to 60% by weight of methyl acrylate and/or esters corresponding to formula (1): ##STR1## in which R represents H or CH 3 , R' represents H, CH 3 or C 2 H 5 and n=1 or 2, the sum of I and II amounting to 100% by weight.
