Abstract

The graft polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate in presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone, which occurs through a stage of complex formation between the reactants, was investigated. The basic performance properties of hydrogel copolymers depending on their composition were investigated. A hydrogel polymeric material “Akrylan-LPI” for soft contact lenses was developed. Clinical testing confirmed the effectiveness of using of such lenses for vision correction as well as for eye injuries and burns treating.
