1. A reaction mixture comprising one or more olefinic silicone-containing monomers, one or more hydrophilic monomers, and a diluent comprising the following structure:
- ##STR11## where R, R'"'"' and R" are independently selected from H, or unsubstituted, linear, branched or cyclic monovalent alkyl groups having 1 to 7 carbons with the proviso that no more than one of R, R'"'"' or R" is H; and
wherein said hydrophilic monomer is selected from the group consisting of N,N-dimiethyl acrylamide (DMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), glycerol methylacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylamide, polyethyleneglycol, monomethacrylate, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, N-vinyl prrolidone (NVP), N-vinyl-N-methyl acetamide, N-viny-N-ethyl acetamide, N-vinyl-N-methyl acctamide, N-vinyl-N-ethyl fomiamide and N-vinyl formamide;
said reaction mixture to be used to form a contact lens.
