Continuous-wear lenses having improved physical properties

Claim 1

A polymerization product of: (a) about 30 to about 80 weight % of at least one fluoroorgano monomer having the formula ##STR6## wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and Y is a fluorocarbon group having about 2 to about 10 carbon atoms and about 3 to about 21 fluorine atoms; (b) about 15 to about 50 weight % of at least one siloxyl alkyl ester having the formula ##STR7## wherein R 1 is as described above, each R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of methyl and phenyl groups, and a is 1, 3 or 4; (c) about 4 to about 20 weight % of a member of the group consisting of: (i) at least one poly(organosiloxane) monomer having the formula ##STR8## wherein A is an activated unsaturated group, R 3 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms, each R 4 and R 5 is independently selected from the group consisting of a monovalent hydrocarbon radical or a halogen-substituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1-12 carbon atoms, and b is 0 or greater, and (ii) mixtures of said poly(organosiloxane) monomers and at least one optional crosslinking monomer having the formula ##STR9## wherein R 1 is as defined above and R 6 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 2-12 carbon atoms; and (d) about 1 to about 15 weight % of at least one hydrophilic monomer.
