Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing coated silicone hydrogel contact lenses in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. The present invention also relates to coated silicone hydrogel contact lenses manufactured according to the method of the present invention. [Background technology]

[0002] A new type of soft contact lens, the moisture gradient silicone hydrogel contact lens (e.g., DAILIES® TOTAL1® (Alcon), PRECISION1® (Alcon), and TOTAL30® (Alcon)), has been developed and successfully introduced to the market. This new class of soft contact lenses has a moisture gradient structure, characterized by an increasing water content from 33% to over 80% from the core to the surface (see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 8480227, 11061168, and 11256003). This class of moisture gradient silicone hydrogel contact lenses is highly flexible, contains a large amount of water, and has a relatively thick and smooth hydrogel coating, providing patients with superior comfort.

[0003] As described in U.S. Patent No. 8,480,227 and U.S. Patent No. 1,125,6003, methods for manufacturing moisture gradient contact lenses often involve forming a non-silicone hydrogel coating on a contact lens coated with a base coating having reactive functional groups (e.g., carboxylic acid groups), or on a contact lens made of a silicone hydrogel material having reactive functional groups (e.g., carboxylic acid groups). When a reactive base coating is required, the method for manufacturing moisture gradient contact lenses may require an additional step to form the reactive base coating. If the silicone hydrogel material of the contact lens has reactive functional groups (e.g., carboxylic acid groups), such silicone hydrogel contact lenses may be prone to degradation due to the large amount of carboxylic acid groups present in the silicone hydrogel contact lens. However, while reducing the carboxylic acid content can improve the shelf life of the lens, it may impair the uniformity of the coating.

[0004] Therefore, in the manufacture of moisture gradient contact lenses, it is desirable to develop a new process for forming a uniform non-silicone hydrogel coating while maintaining a low acid content in the silicone hydrogel lens material.

[0069] In general, the present invention relates to a cost-effective method for producing coated SiHy contact lenses having non-silicone hydrogel coatings on each. The present invention is partly based on the discovery that pre-formed SiHy contact lenses (or other hydrophobic plastic molded articles) having two types of moldable reactive functional groups (carboxylic acid groups and arylborono groups) can be coated by packaging and autoclaving them in a packaging saline solution containing two different coating materials. The first type of coating material is a lightly crosslinked (or branched) thermocrosslinkable hydrophilic polymer material containing thermocrosslinkable groups (azetidinium groups and / or epoxide groups) that can react with carboxylic acid groups during autoclaving. The other type of coating material is a diol-containing hydrophilic polymer containing 1,2- or 1,3-diol moieties that can react with arylborono groups. Having two different types of coating materials makes it possible to form a hybrid coating with excellent integrity on pre-formed SiHy contact lenses with relatively low amounts of carboxylic acid. As a result, the resulting coated SiHy contact lenses can have reduced susceptibility to degradation induced by carboxylic acids, thereby providing increased stability (longer shelf life).

Those skilled in the art are very familiar with the methods of manufacturing pre-formed contact lenses. For example, a pre-formed contact lens can be manufactured in a conventional “spin-casting mold,” such as described in U.S. Patent No. 3,408,429, or by a static, full-scale casting process, such as described in U.S. Patents No. 4,347,198, 5508,317, 5583,463, 5789,464, and 5849810, or by turning polymer material buttons, as used in the manufacture of customized contact lenses. In casting, polymerizable compositions (i.e., lens formulations) are typically dispensed into a mold and cured (i.e., polymerized and / or crosslinked) within the mold to manufacture contact lenses.

[0072] Lens molds for manufacturing contact lenses, such as hydrocontact lenses, are well known to those skilled in the art and are used, for example, in casting or spin casting. For example, a mold (for casting) generally comprises at least two mold pieces (or parts) or mold halves, namely a first and a second mold half. The first mold half has a first molding (or optical) surface that is in direct contact with the polymerizable composition for casting the contact lens and defines the rear surface (concave) of the molded contact lens, and the second mold half has a second molding (or optical) surface that is in direct contact with the polymerizable composition and defines the front surface (convex) of the molded contact lens. The first and second mold halves are configured to receive each other so that a lens forming cavity is formed between the first molding surface and the second molding surface.

[0073] Methods for manufacturing mold pieces for casting contact lenses are generally well known to those skilled in the art. The method of the present invention is not limited to a specific method for forming a mold. In fact, any method for forming a mold can be used in the present invention.

[0117] According to the present invention, the polymerizable composition can be distributed into a lens mold by any known method. For example, a specific amount of polymerizable composition is typically distributed into a female half by a distribution device, then a male half is placed, and the mold is closed. Once the mold is closed, any excess polymerizable composition is pushed into an overflow provided on the female half (or male half).

[0118] The molded assembly (i.e., a closed mold containing the polymerizable composition) is then cured by heat or chemical rays, as is known to those skilled in the art, to form a pre-formed silicone hydrogel lens containing a bulk silicone hydrogel material comprising carboxyl groups and arylborono groups. It is understood that the carboxyl groups on and / or near the surface of the bulk silicone hydrogel material can function as reaction sites that can covalently bond layers of crosslinked hydrophilic polymer material, while the arylborono groups on and / or near the surface of the bulk silicone hydrogel material can function as reaction sites that can covalently bond diol-containing hydrophilic polymers having 1,2- or 1,3-diol moieties.

[0119] After curing, the mold can be opened according to any method known to those skilled in the art. After the mold is separated, the pre-formed silicone hydrogel lens is attached to one of the male and female halves.

[0120] The pre-formed silicone hydrogel lens attached to the lens-attached mold half can be removed from the lens-attached mold half and subjected to one or more post-molding processes.

[0121] According to the present invention, the aqueous coating solution of the present invention must contain two different types of coating materials.

[0122] The first type of coating material is a branched or slightly crosslinked water-soluble, thermocrosslinkable, hydrophilic polymer material comprising thermocrosslinkable groups (azetidinium groups and / or epoxide groups) and optionally but preferably reactive functional groups (primary amino groups, secondary amino groups, carboxylic acid groups, thiol groups, or combinations thereof).

[0123] The term "slightly crosslinked" in relation to polymer materials means that the number of crosslinks between polymer chains in the polymer material is very small, so the polymer material remains water-soluble.

[0124] In preferred embodiments, the water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable, hydrophilic polymer material is a partially crosslinked polymer material comprising a three-dimensional network and heat-crosslinkable groups, preferably azetidinium groups within or linked to the network. The term “partially crosslinked” in relation to the polymer material means that, in the crosslinking reaction, the crosslinkable groups of the starting materials for producing the polymer material are not completely consumed. For example, such a heat-crosslinkable, hydrophilic polymer material is a partial reaction product of at least one azetidinium-containing or epoxide-containing polymer comprising azetidinium groups and following the crosslinking reaction shown in Scheme I, and at least one hydrophilicity enhancer (i.e., wetting agent) having at least one carboxyl, primary amine, secondary amine, or thiol group: [ka] (In the formula, X1 is -S-*, -OC(=O)-*, or -NR'-*, and R' is hydrogen or C1~C) 20 It is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, and * represents an organic radical.

[0125] Examples of preferred water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable, hydrophilic polymer materials containing epoxide groups include, but are not limited to, one or more multi-arm polyethylene glycols, each having a terminal epoxide (i.e., epoxy) group; partial reaction products of multi-arm polyethylene glycols having terminal epoxide groups and one or more polyethylene glycols, each having a terminal functional group selected from the group consisting of primary amine groups, secondary amine groups, carboxyl groups, thiol groups, and combinations thereof; partial reaction products of multi-arm polyethylene having terminal epoxide groups and a hydrophilicity enhancer having at least one reactive functional group selected from the group consisting of amino groups, carboxyl groups, thiol groups, and combinations thereof (such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9,505,184, and hydrophilic polymers disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,440,571); epoxide Examples include a copolymer of a side-containing vinyl monomer (any of the above) and one or more hydrophilic vinyl monomers, and a hydrophilicity enhancer having at least one reactive functional group selected from the group consisting of an amino group, a carboxyl group, a thiol group, and combinations thereof (any of the following); an epoxide-containing vinyl monomer (any of the above), a hydrophilic vinyl monomer, and a copolymer of C1-C4 alkoxy poly(ethylene glycol) ethyl (meth)acrylate having a number average molecular weight of up to 2500 daltons (poly(ethylene glycol) ethyl (meth)acrylate having a number average molecular weight of up to 2500 daltons, C1-C4 alkoxy poly(ethylene glycol) ethyl (meth)acrylamide, or poly(ethylene glycol) ethyl (meth)acrylamide having a number average molecular weight of up to 2500 daltons); or a combination thereof.

[0126] Examples of preferred water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable, hydrophilic polymer materials containing an azetidinium group include, but are not limited to, poly(2-oxazoline-co-ethyleneimine)-epichlorohydrin copolymer (disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9720138), chemically modified poly(2-oxazoline-co-ethyleneimine)-epichlorohydrin copolymer (disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9720138), chemically modified polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin (disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 8529057), copolymers of azetidinium-containing vinyl monomers with one or more hydrophilic vinyl monomers (disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9422447), chemically modified copolymers of azetidinium-containing vinyl monomers with one or more hydrophilic vinyl monomers (disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 9422447), or combinations thereof.

[0127] According to the present invention, the term "chemically modified" with respect to water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable, hydrophilic polymer materials having azetidinium groups means that the copolymer of poly(2-oxazoline-co-ethyleneimine)-epichlorohydrin copolymer, polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin, or azetidinium-containing vinyl monomer is partially reacted with a hydrophilicity enhancer having at least one reactive functional group selected from the group consisting of amino groups, carboxyl groups, thiol groups, and combinations thereof (i.e., not all of the azetidinium groups are consumed). Chemically modified poly(2-oxazoline-co-ethyleneimine)-epichlorohydrin copolymer or copolymer of polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin or azetidinium-containing vinyl monomer can be particularly useful for forming relatively thick and soft non-silicone hydrogel coatings on silicone hydrogel contact lenses.

[0131] One preferred class of hydrophilic polymers as hydrophilicity enhancers is (primary or secondary) amino or carboxyl-containing polysaccharides, such as carboxymethylcellulose (repeating unit, -[C6H 10~m O5(CH2CO2H) m-(having a carboxyl content of about 40% or less estimated based on the composition of -(where m is 1 to 3)), carboxymethyl cellulose (repeating unit, -[C6H 10~m O5(C2H4CO2H) m -(having a carboxyl content of about 36% or less estimated based on the composition of -(where m is 1 to 3)), carboxypropyl cellulose (repeating unit, -[C6H 10~m O5(C3H6CO2H) m -(having a carboxyl content of about 32% or less estimated based on the composition of -(where m is 1 to 3)), hyaluronic acid (repeating unit, -(C 13 H 20 O9NCO2H)- having a carboxyl content of about 11% estimated based on the composition), chondroitin sulfate (repeating unit, -(C 12 H 18 O 13 NSCO2H)- having a carboxyl content of about 9.8% estimated based on the composition), or a combination thereof, etc.

Examples include PEG dendrimers having a group; diamino-(primary or secondary) or dicarboxyl-terminated homopolymers or copolymers of non-reactive hydrophilic vinyl monomers; monoamino-(primary or secondary) or monocarboxyl-terminated homopolymers or copolymers of non-reactive hydrophilic vinyl monomers; copolymers which are polymerization products of compositions comprising (1) one or more reactive vinyl monomers in an amount of about 60% by weight or less, preferably about 0.1% to about 30% by weight, more preferably about 0.5% to about 20% by weight, and even more preferably about 1% to about 15% by weight, and (2) at least one non-reactive hydrophilic vinyl monomer, as well as combinations thereof.

[0139] Functionalized PEGs and multi-armed functionalized PEGs can be obtained from various commercial suppliers, such as Polyscience and Shearwater Polymers, Inc.

[0140] Monoamino, monocarboxyl, diamino, or dicarboxy-terminated homopolymers or copolymers of one or more nonreactive hydrophilic vinyl monomers, or phosphorylcholine-containing vinyl monomers, can be prepared by following the procedures described in U.S. Patent No. 6,218,508, which is incorporated herein by reference in whole. For example, to prepare diamino or dicarboxyl-terminated homopolymers or copolymers of nonreactive hydrophilic vinyl monomers, a nonreactive vinyl monomer, a chain transfer agent having an amino or carboxyl group (e.g., 2-aminoethanethiol, 2-mercaptopropionic acid, thioglycolic acid, thiobutyric acid, or other hydroxymercaptons, aminomercaptons, or carboxyl-containing mercaptons), and optionally another vinyl monomer are polymerized (thermally or chemically) with a reactive vinyl monomer (having an amino or carboxyl group) in the presence of a free radical initiator. Generally, the molar ratio of the chain transfer agent to all vinyl monomers other than the reactive vinyl monomer is about 1:5 to about 1:100, while the molar ratio of the chain transfer agent to the reactive vinyl monomer is 1:1. In such preparations, a chain transfer agent having an amino or carboxyl group is used to control the molecular weight of the resulting hydrophilic polymer, forming the ends of the resulting hydrophilic polymer to provide a hydrophilic polymer having one terminal amino or carboxyl group, while the reactive vinyl monomer provides other terminal carboxyl or amino groups to the resulting hydrophilic polymer. Similarly, to prepare monoamino or monocarboxyl-terminated homo or copolymers of non-reactive hydrophilic vinyl monomers, a non-reactive vinyl monomer, a chain transfer agent having an amino or carboxyl group (e.g., 2-aminoethanethiol, 2-mercaptopropionic acid, thioglycolic acid, thiobutyric acid, or other hydroxymercaptons, aminomercaptons, or carboxyl-containing mercaptons) and optionally another vinyl monomer are polymerized (thermally or by chemical rays) in the absence of any reactive vinyl monomer.

[0141] Copolymers containing non-reactive hydrophilic vinyl monomers and reactive vinyl monomers (e.g., carboxyl-containing vinyl monomers, primary amino group-containing vinyl monomers, or secondary amino group-containing vinyl monomers) can be prepared by any well-known radical polymerization method or obtained from commercial sources. Copolymers containing methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine and carboxyl-containing vinyl monomers (or amino-containing vinyl monomers) can be obtained from NOP Corporation (e.g., LIPIDURE®-AC01 and AE).

[0142] A hydrophilic polymer having at least one amino, carboxyl, or thiol group (as a hydrophilicity enhancer) with a weight-average molecular weight M w Preferably, this is about 500 to about 2,000,000, more preferably about 1,000 to about 500,000, and even more preferably about 5,000 to about 250,000 Daltons.

[0143] Water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable, hydrophilic polymer materials can be prepared according to the procedures disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 8,529,057, 9,422,447, 9,720,138, and 1,125,6003, and U.S. Patent Publication No. 63 / 371660.

[0144] In a preferred embodiment, a water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable polymer material can be obtained by heating a reactive aqueous solution containing at least one azetidinium-containing polymer and at least one hydrophilicity enhancer (i.e., a wetting agent) having at least one reactive functional group selected from the group consisting of amino groups, carboxyl groups, thiol groups, and combinations thereof, to a temperature of about 35°C to about 85°C and maintaining the temperature for a sufficient amount of time (about 8 hours or less, preferably about 5 hours, more preferably about 2 hours to about 4 hours). The reactive aqueous solution preferably contains one or more ionic components in a concentration of about 70 mM to about 170 mM (preferably about 90 mM to about 150 mM, more preferably about 100 mM to about 130 mM) and has a pH of at least 8.0 (preferably at least 8.5, more preferably at least 9.0, and even more preferably 9.5). It should be understood that the reaction time should be long enough to covalently bond the hydrophilicity enhancer to the polymer chains of the azetidinium-containing polymer, but short enough not to consume all of the azetidinium groups of the azetidinium-containing polymer, and not to form a gel (i.e., non-water soluble) due to too many crosslinks formed between the azetidinium-containing polymer and the hydrophilicity enhancer. The resulting polymer material is a lightly crosslinked polymer material with a highly branched structure and still containing thermally crosslinkable azetidinium groups.

[0145] Those skilled in the art will have a good understanding of how to adjust the pH of a reactive mixture by adding, for example, a base (e.g., NaOH, KOH, NH4OH, or a mixture thereof) or an acid (e.g., HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4, citric acid, acetic acid, boric acid, or a mixture thereof).

[0146] According to the present invention, any ionic compound can be used in a reactive mixture. Preferably, the ionic compound is used as an ionic tonicity regulator and an ionic buffer in ophthalmic solutions. Examples of preferred ionic tonicity regulators include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and combinations thereof. Examples of preferred ionic buffers include various salts of phosphoric acid (e.g., NaH2PO4, Na2HPO4, Na3PO4, KH2PO4, K2HPO4, K3PO4, or mixtures thereof), various salts of boric acid (e.g., sodium borate, potassium borate, or mixtures thereof), various salts of citric acid (e.g., monosodium citrate, disodium citrate, trisodium citrate, monopotassium citrate, dipotassium citrate, tripotassium citrate, or mixtures thereof), and various salts of carboxylic acid (e.g., Na2CO3, NaHCO3, K2CO3, KHCO3, or mixtures thereof).

[0147] A reactive aqueous solution for preparing a water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable polymer material can be prepared by dissolving a desired amount of azetidinium-containing polymer, a desired amount of a hydrophilicity enhancer having at least one reactive functional group, and a desired amount of other components (e.g., an ionic buffer, an ionic tonicity adjuster, etc.) in water (or a mixture of water and a small amount of water-soluble organic solvent) to form an aqueous solution, and then adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution as needed.

[0148] According to the present invention, the concentration ratio of the hydrophilicity enhancer to the azetidinium-containing polymer in the aqueous reactive solution must be selected so as not to render the resulting water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable polymer material water-insoluble (i.e., less than 0.005 g of solubility per 100 ml of water at room temperature), and so as not to consume more than about 99%, preferably about 98%, more preferably about 97%, and even more preferably about 96% of the azetidinium groups of the azetidinium-containing polymer.

[0149] In a preferred embodiment, the reactive aqueous solution comprises 0.01% to about 10% by weight (preferably 0.05% to about 5% by weight, more preferably 0.08% to about 1% by weight, and even more preferably 0.1% to about 0.4% by weight) of an azetidinium-containing polymer and about 0.01% to about 10% by weight (preferably 0.02% to about 5% by weight, more preferably 0.05% to about 2% by weight, and even more preferably 0.08% to about 1.0% by weight) of a hydrophilicity enhancer having at least one reactive functional group (carboxyl, primary amino, or secondary amino group), wherein the concentration ratio of the azetidinium-containing polymer to the hydrophilicity enhancer is about 1000:1 to 1:1000 (preferably about 500:1 to about 1:500, more preferably about 250:1 to about 1:250, and even more preferably about 100:1 to about 1:100).

[0150] In a preferred embodiment, the water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable polymer material comprises (i) a first polymer chain derived from polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin or poly(2-oxazoline-co-ethyleneimine)-epichlorohydrin in an amount of about 20% to about 95% by weight, and (ii) a hydrophilic moiety or second polymer chain derived from at least one hydrophilicity enhancer having at least one reactive functional group selected from the group consisting of amino groups, carboxyl groups, thiol groups, and combinations thereof (preferably carboxyl or thiol groups) in an amount of about 5% to about 80% by weight. The hydrophilic portion or second polymer chain is covalently bonded to the first polymer chain through one or more covalent bonds formed between one azetidinium group of polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin or poly(2-oxazoline-co-ethyleneimine)-epichlorohydrin and one amino, carboxyl, or thiol group of the hydrophilicity enhancer, and (iii) an azetidinium group that is part of the first polymer chain or is a pendant or terminal group covalently bonded to the first polymer chain. The composition of the chemically modified poly(2-oxazoline-co-ethyleneimine)-epichlorohydrin or chemically modified polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin is determined by the composition (based on the total weight of reactants) of the reaction mixture used for such polymer according to the crosslinking reaction shown in Scheme I above. For example, if the reaction mixture contains about 75% by weight of polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin and about 25% by weight of at least one hydrophilicity enhancer, based on the total weight of the reactants, the resulting chemically modified polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin will contain a first polymer chain derived from about 75% by weight of polyamioamine-epichlorohydrin and a hydrophilic moiety or second polymer chain derived from about 25% by weight of the at least one hydrophilicity enhancer.

[0151] According to the present invention, the second type of coating material is a diol-containing hydrophilic polymer containing a 1,2- or 1,3-diol moiety. Any diol-containing hydrophilic polymer having a 1,2- or 1,3-diol moiety can be used in the present invention. Examples of preferred diol-containing hydrophilic polymers having a 1,2- or 1,3-diol moiety include, but are not limited to, polyvinyl alcohol, poly(ethylene glycol)-graft-poly(vinyl alcohol), copolymers of vinyl alcohol and hydrophilic vinyl monomers, copolymers of glycerol (meth)acrylate and hydrophilic vinyl monomers, copolymers of 2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate and hydrophilic vinyl monomers, copolymers of 2,2-dihydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate and hydrophilic vinyl monomers, copolymers of 2,3-dihydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate and hydrophilic vinyl monomers, copolymers of glycerin-2 (meth)acrylate and hydrophilic vinyl monomers, copolymers of N-2,3-dihydroxypropyl (meth)acrylamide and hydrophilic vinyl monomers, copolymers of 3-allyloxy-1,2-propanediol and hydrophilic vinyl monomers, and combinations thereof.

[0152] According to the present invention, during the heating process, the at least one water-soluble, heat-crosslinkable hydrophilic polymer material is crosslinked by intermolecular and intramolecular crosslinking reactions between azetidinium groups or epoxide groups and carboxyl groups, amino groups, or thiol groups, and is also covalently bonded to the bulk silicone hydrogel material by reactions between azetidinium groups or epoxide groups and carboxyl groups, while the diol-containing hydrophilic polymer is covalently bonded to the bulk silicone hydrogel material by reactions between arylborono groups and 1,2- or 1,3-diol moieties.

[0153] Preferably, the heating step is carried out by autoclaving the pre-formed SiHy contact lenses, which are immersed in a packaging solution (i.e., a buffered aqueous coating solution) in a sealed lens package, at a temperature of about 115°C to about 125°C for about 20 to 90 minutes.

[0154] Lens packages (or containers) are well known to those skilled in the art for autoclaving and storing soft contact lenses. Any lens package can be used in the present invention. Preferably, the lens package is a blister package comprising a base and a cover, wherein the cover is sealed to be removable from the base, and the base comprises a cavity for receiving a sterile packaging solution and a contact lens.

[0155] The lenses are packaged in individual packages, sealed, and sterilized (for example, by autoclaving at approximately 120°C or higher for at least 30 minutes under pressure) before being distributed to users. Those skilled in the art will understand well how to seal and sterilize the lens packages.

[0156] According to the present invention, the packaging solution contains at least one buffering agent and one or more other components known to those skilled in the art. Examples of other materials include, but are not limited to, isotonic agents, surfactants, antimicrobial agents, preservatives, and lubricants (e.g., cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone).

[0157] The packaging solution contains a buffer in an amount sufficient to maintain the pH of the packaging solution within the desired range, for example, preferably about 6.8 to about 8.5, more preferably about 7.0 to 8.2, and even more preferably about 7.2 to about 8.0. It has been found that a higher pH is desirable to ensure that all or a substantial portion of the carboxyl groups of the bulk silicone hydrogel material are ionized. As a result, the resulting silicone hydrogel contact lenses may become dimensionally stable in the packaging solution and have improved lubricity during autoclaving and storage.

[0158] Any known physiologically compatible buffer can be used. Suitable buffers as components of the contact lens care composition according to the present invention are known to those skilled in the art. Preferably, a phosphate buffer (essentially consisting of a mixture of monobasic dihydrogen phosphate (e.g., NaH2PO4, KH2PO4, or a mixture thereof) and dibasic monohydrogen phosphate (e.g., Na2HPO4, K2HPO4, or a mixture thereof)) is used to maintain the pH of the packaging solution. In various preferred embodiments, the total concentration of monobasic dihydrogen phosphate and dibasic monohydrogen phosphate is at least 30 mM (preferably at least 35 mM, more preferably at least 40 mM, and even more preferably at least 45 mM).

[0159] The solutions according to the present invention are preferably formulated to be isotonic with tears. A solution isotonic with tears is generally understood to be a solution whose concentration corresponds to that of a 0.9% sodium chloride solution (308 mOsm / kg). Deviations from this concentration are possible throughout.

[0167] The above disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to implement the invention. Various modifications, changes, and combinations can be implemented in the various embodiments described herein. References to the following examples are proposed to enable the reader to better understand the particular embodiments and their advantages. The specification and examples are intended to be considered illustrative. [Examples]

[0168] Example 1 Measurement of oxygen permeability coefficient Unless otherwise specified, the oxygen permeability coefficient (Dk / t) of the lens and lens material, and the intrinsic (or edge-corrected) oxygen permeability (Dk i or Dk c ) shall be measured according to the procedure described in ISO 18369-4.

[0169] Water film breakdown time (WBUT) test The surface hydrophilicity of a lens is evaluated by measuring the time it takes for the water film on the lens surface to begin to break, using an interfacial dewetting and drainage optical platform (iDDroP), as described in the paper "Influence of Lipid Coatings on Surface Wettability Characteristics of Silicone Hydrogels" by Bhamla et al., published in Langmuir. 2015, 31:3820-3828 (2015(31):3820-3828). During the IDDroP test, the lens is placed on a stage and immersed in PBS. A small surface of the lens is then exposed to air. An electric linear stage and motion controller are used to expose the contact lens to a specified depth. Videos of water film breakdown are recorded to evaluate the water film breakdown time and pattern.

[0170] equilibrium moisture content The equilibrium water content (EWC) of a contact lens (i.e., the water content of a contact lens in a fully hydrated state) is determined according to the procedure described in Example 1 of U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20210181379A1.

[0171] modulus of elasticity The elastic modulus of the contact lens is determined according to the procedure described in Example 1 of U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20210181379A1.

[0172] Measurement of Water Contact Angle (WCA). The Water Contact Angle (WCA) is measured using the droplet method with pure water (Fluka, surface tension 72.5 mN / m at 20°C) on a DSA 10 droplet formation analysis system from Kruess GmbH, Germany. For the purpose of measurement, the contact lens is removed from the storage solution using tweezers and excess storage solution is removed by gentle shaking. The contact lens is placed on the male part of the lens mold and gently wiped with a dry, clean cloth. A water droplet (approximately 1 μl) is then placed on the apex of the lens, and the change in the contact angle of this droplet over time (WCA(t), circle fitting mode) is monitored. The WCA is calculated by extrapolating the graph WCA(t) to t=0.

[0173] Lubricity evaluation The lubricity of contact lenses is evaluated using a tactile lubricity test, which qualitatively characterizes the slipperiness of the lens surface on a friction rating scale from 0 to 4. A higher friction rating indicates lower slipperiness (i.e., lower lubricity). In this test, the lens is touched between the thumb and index finger, and a qualitative rating from 0 to 4 is assigned based on the level of friction perceived by the tester. The given rating is compared to five commercially available lenses corresponding to five levels of lubricity, which serve as a benchmark for this test.

[0174] The levels and standards are as follows: DAILIES® TOTAL1® lens (Alcon) is the standard for grade 0 on the scale, and ACUVUE® OASYS TM Johnson & Johnson lenses meet the Grade 1 standard, Bausch & Lamb ULTRA® lenses meet the Grade 2 standard, Alcon DAILIES® Aqua Comfort Plus® lenses meet the Grade 3 standard, and AIR OPTIX® Aqua lenses meet the Grade 4 standard.

[0175] Place the samples in PBS for at least two rinses of 30 minutes each, and then transfer them to fresh PBS before evaluation. Before evaluation, wash hands with soap solution, rinse thoroughly with deionized water, and then dry with a KimWipe (registered trademark) towel. When evaluating the lubricity of the front surface, place the lens on the finger with the back surface facing the index finger, rub the front surface with the thumb, and confirm the feel of the slipperiness (i.e., lubricity) of the front surface. When evaluating the lubricity of the back surface, first invert the lens, then place the inverted front surface on the finger with the front surface facing the index finger, and then rub the inverted back surface with the thumb to confirm the feel of the smoothness (or lubricity) of the back surface.

[0176] Each sample is assigned a friction grade relative to the above-described reference lens. The value of the friction grade is obtained by averaging the results of at least two friction grades of the contact lens by two or more people and / or by averaging the friction grades of two or more contact lenses (from the same batch of lens production) by one person.

[0177] The finger lubricity (i.e., friction grade) of the contact lens can be determined directly out-of-pack (OOP), but can also be determined after immersion in PBS for ≥ 30 minutes according to the procedure described above.

[0178] Coating Integrity Test The coating integrity of coated SiHy contact lenses can be evaluated by the following Sudan Black staining test. Each SiHy contact lens with a coating is immersed in a Sudan Black dye solution (Sudan Black in a mixture of approximately 80% mineral oil and approximately 20% vitamin E oil). Sudan Black dye is hydrophobic and tends to be readily adsorbed by hydrophobic materials, on hydrophobic lens surfaces, or to hydrophobic spots on partially coated surfaces of hydrophobic lenses (e.g., silicone hydrogel contact lenses). If the coating on a hydrophobic lens is perfect, no staining spots should be observed on or inside the lens. All lenses under test are completely hydrated. Fine lines visible on the lens surface may indicate the presence of cracks in the cross-linked coating.

[0179] The image of a contact lens dyed with Sudan Black is recorded with a digital camera and then analyzed by a computer to determine the percentage (%) of the dyed area of a coated SiHy contact lens (SBQ) that is directly taken out of the package ("OOP") or taken out of the package and subjected to an aqueous extraction process ("2xcycling"). Here, "2xcycling" consists of: (1) taking out one SiHy contact lens that is immediately available from a sealed package, wiping off the moisture, and immersing the immediately available SiHy contact lens, while stirring, in 1.0 mL of fresh phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.2 ± 0.2 at 25°C, containing approximately 0.077 wt% NaH2PO4·H2O, approximately 0.31 wt% Na2HPO4·2H2O, and approximately 0.77 wt% NaCl) as the extraction medium in a vial at 35°C for 24 hours, which is the first cycle of a simulated 1-day wear extraction; and (2) removing all the PBS used in the previous cycle with a pipette, then adding 1.0 mL of fresh PBS as the extraction medium to the vial, and immersing the immediately available SiHy contact lens, while stirring, in the freshly added 1 mL of PBS as the extraction medium at 35°C for 24 hours, respectively, which are the 2nd to 7th cycles of a simulated 1-day wear extraction. The integrity of the coating is (1 - SBQ) measured immediately after taking it out of the package.

[0180] As a control, SiHy contact lenses without a coating are also tested. Since these SiHy contact lenses in the control experiment do not have a hydrogel coating on them, their surfaces are completely dyed with Sudan Black.

[0198]

Table 2

[0199] It has been observed that coating integrity improves when IPC saline (salie) contains a hydrophilic polymer (i.e., PVA) having 1,2- or 1,3-diol moieties (IPC-2 vs. IPC-1). This suggests that a non-silicone hydrogel coating ("hybrid coating") is formed on the pre-formed SiHy contact lens. This non-silicone hydrogel coating is covalently bonded to the bulk SiHy material and consists of a crosslinked polymer material and PVA distributed therein.

[0200] Example 4 The coated SiHy contact lenses are prepared according to the procedure described in Example 2. The two SiHy lens formulations (SiHy-3 and SiHy-4) prepared in Example 2 and the four IPC salines (IPC-1, IPC-3, IPC-4, and IPC-5) prepared in Example 2 are used in this example.

[0201] Table 3 shows the characterization results of coated SiHy contact lenses containing bulk silicone hydrogel material obtained from SiHy-3 lens formulations and non-silicone hydrogel coatings obtained from IPC-1 saline (control), IPC-3, IPC-4, or IPC-5 saline.

[0202] [Table 3]

[0203] Table 4 shows the characterization results of coated SiHy contact lenses containing bulk silicone hydrogel material obtained from SiHy-3 lens formulations and non-silicone hydrogel coatings obtained from IPC-1 saline (control), IPC-3, IPC-4, or IPC-5 saline.

[0204] [Table 4]

[0205] When IPC saline (salie) contains a hydrophilic polymer having 1,2- or 1,3-diol moieties (i.e., PVA, PEG-PVA, or PVP-PVA), the integrity of the coating is improved (compared to IPC-1). This suggests that a non-silicone hydrogel coating ("hybrid coating") is formed on the pre-formed SiHy contact lens. This non-silicone hydrogel coating is covalently bonded to the bulk SiHy material and consists of a crosslinked polymer material and PVA distributed therein.

[0206] Example 5 A coated SiHy contact lens is prepared according to the procedure described in Example 2. The two SiHy lens formulations (SiHy-5 and SiHy-6) prepared in Example 2 and the two IPC salines (IPC-1 and IPC-3) prepared in Example 2 are used in this example.

[0207] Table 5 shows the characterization results of coated SiHy contact lenses, which include bulk silicone hydrogel material obtained from SiHy-5 or SiHy-6 lens formulations and a non-silicone hydrogel coating obtained from IPC-1 physiological saline (control) or IPC-3 physiological saline.

[0208] [Table 5]

[0209] It has been observed that coating integrity improves when IPC saline contains a hydrophilic polymer (i.e., PVA) having 1,2- or 1,3-diol moieties (IPC-3 vs. IPC-1). This suggests that a non-silicone hydrogel coating ("hybrid coating") is formed on the pre-formed SiHy contact lens. This non-silicone hydrogel coating is covalently bonded to the bulk SiHy material and consists of a crosslinked polymer material and PVA distributed within it.

[0210] Example 6 A coated SiHy contact lens is prepared according to the procedure described in Example 2. The two SiHy lens formulations (SiHy-7 and SiHy-8) prepared in Example 2 and the two IPC salines (IPC-1 and IPC-3) prepared in Example 2 are used in this example.

[0211] Table 6 shows the characterization results of coated SiHy contact lenses, which include bulk silicone hydrogel material obtained from SiHy-7 or SiHy-8 lens formulations and a non-silicone hydrogel coating obtained from IPC-1 physiological saline (control) or IPC-3 physiological saline.

[0212] [Table 6]

[0213] It has been observed that coating integrity improves when IPC saline (salie) contains a hydrophilic polymer (such as PVA) having 1,2- or 1,3-diol moieties (IPC-3 vs. IPC-1). This suggests that a non-silicone hydrogel coating ("hybrid coating") is formed on the pre-formed SiHy contact lens. This non-silicone hydrogel coating is covalently bonded to the bulk SiHy material and consists of a crosslinked polymer material and PVA distributed within it.
