A Novel Approach to Increase the Oxygen Permeability of Soft Contact Lenses by Incorporating Silica Sol

A Novel Approach to Increase the Oxygen Permeability of Soft Contact Lenses by Incorporating Silica Sol

This study presents a novel approach to increase the oxygen permeability of hydrogel by the addition of silica sol. Herein, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was copolymerized with N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) after mixing with silica sol. The resultant hydrogel was subject to characterizations incl...
