The invention provides an amphiphilic
siloxane-containing (
meth)
acrylamide which comprises one sole (
meth)acrylamido group, one sole
tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl group, and one
polyethylene glycol segment which is either dangling
polymer chain or a hydrophilic
linker between the (
meth)acrylamido group and the
tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl group. The present invention is also related to a
polymer, an actinically-crosslinkable
silicone-containing
prepolymer, a
silicone hydrogel polymeric material, or a
silicone hydrogel
contact lens, which comprises monomeric units derived from an amphiphilic
siloxane-containing (meth)acrylamido group, one
tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl group of the invention. In addition, the invention provides a method for making
silicone hydrogel contact lenses using a water-based lens-forming formulation comprising an amphiphilic
siloxane-containing (meth)acrylamido group, one tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl group of the invention and / or an actinically-crosslinkable silicone-containing
prepolymer of the invention.
