Soft contact lens polymers: an evolution
TL;DR: A review of patents and literature reveals an evolution in materials technologies driven by an increased understanding of the physiological needs of the cornea, beginning with the first hydrogel lenses developed by Wichterle, followed by a variety of high water hydrogels.

Book ChapterDOI
Contact Lenses: Silicone Hydrogels
TL;DR: The structural features of silicone hydrogels as contact lens polymers, including morphology and morphology, are discussed, to address the well-recognized problems of corneal hypoxia caused by contact lens wear and the notorious hydrophobic and lipophilic characteristics of silicone containing polymers.
