First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for increasing hydrophilicity of a contact lens consisting essentially of:
- contacting a surface of the contact lens with an aqueous solution including a hydrophilic monomer and a thermal polymerization initiator; and
heating the solution while in contact with the surface of the contact lens to effect polymerization of said hydrophilic monomer.
