A biomedical device is disclosed. The biomedical device includes a polymerization product of a biomedical device-forming mixture containing (a) one or more grafted glycosaminoglycan polymers including a glycosaminoglycan having a polymer backbone and one or more side chains comprising an ethylenically unsaturated reactive-containing residue grafted onto the polymer backbone, and (b) one or more non-silicone biomedical device-forming monomers.

High water content biomedical devices

An ophthalmic device which is a polymerization product of a monomeric mixture includes (a) one or more cationic initiators comprising one or more polymerizable groups; and (b) one or more alkyl-substituted oxazolines.

Ophthalmic devices

A method for preparing an ophthalmic device for slowing, inhibiting or preventing myopia progression involves (a) soaking an ophthalmic device in one or more first solvent solutions to swell the ophthalmic device; (b) soaking the swelled ophthalmic device in one or more second solvents solutions comprising one or more red-light blocking compounds blocking greater than about 5% to about 25% of red-light transmission through the ophthalmic device at a wavelength of from about 550 nanometers (nm) to about 800 nm to de-swell the swelled ophthalmic device and entrap the one or more red-light blocking compounds in the de-swelled ophthalmic device; and (c) sterilizing the de-swelled ophthalmic device.

A packaging system for the storage of an ophthalmic device is disclosed. The packaging system includes a sealed container containing one or more unused ophthalmic devices immersed in an aqueous packaging solution that includes ectoine or an ophthalmologically acceptable ectoine derivative. The aqueous packaging solution has an osmolality of at least about 150 mOsm/kg, a pH of about 6 to about 9 and is sterilized.

Packaging solutions

A biomedical device having a coating on a surface thereof, where the coating includes a glycophospholipid polymer which is a reaction product of one or more glycosaminoglycans and one or more phospholipids.

Glycophospholipid polymeric network and use thereof

An ophthalmic device for slowing, inhibiting or preventing myopia progression which is a polymerization product of a monomeric mixture comprising (a) greater than 50 wt. %, based on the total weight of the monomeric mixture, of one or more non-silicone-containing hydrophilic monomers; (b) one or more crosslinking agents; and (c) one or more red-light blocking compounds blocking greater than 5% to about 25% of red-light transmission through the ophthalmic device at a wavelength of from about 550 nm to about 800 nm, wherein the one or more red-light blocking compounds have one or more ethylenically unsaturated reactive end groups.

A packaging system for the storage of an ophthalmic device includes a sealed container containing one or more unused ophthalmic devices immersed in an aqueous packaging solution comprising one or more crosslinked polymeric networks. The one or more crosslinked polymeric network comprises a reaction product of a first glycosaminoglycan, a second glycosaminoglycan, and a first crosslinking agent, wherein the first glycosaminoglycan is different than the second glycosaminoglycan. The aqueous packaging solution has an osmolality of at least about 180 mOsm/kg, a pH of about 6 to about 9 and is heat sterilized.

Crosslinked polymeric network and use thereof

A grafted glycosaminoglycan polymer is disclosed. The grafted glycosaminoglycan polymer comprises a glycosaminoglycan having a polymer backbone and one or more side chains comprising a polyalkylene glycol-containing residue grafted onto the polymer backbone.

Grafted polymer and use thereof

A crosslinked polymeric network is disclosed. The crosslinked polymeric network comprises a reaction product of a first glycosaminoglycan, a second glycosaminoglycan, and a crosslinking agent, wherein the first glycosaminoglycan is different than the second glycosaminoglycan.

A glycophospholipid polymer is disclosed. The glycophospholipid polymer comprises a reaction product of one or more glycosaminoglycans and one or more phospholipids. Also disclosed is a glycophospholipid polymeric network comprising a reaction product of one or more glycosaminoglycans, one or more phospholipids and, one or more crosslinking agents.

A packaging system for storing ophthalmic devices such as contact lenses and methods for packaging such ophthalmic devices with solutions is disclosed. The packaging system contains an unused, ophthalmic device in an aqueous packaging solution comprising tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane or a salt thereof; wherein the solution has an osmolality of at least about 200 mOsm/kg and a pH in the range of about 6 to about 9.

Ophthalmic device packaging solutions comprising tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and nonionic surfactant

Ophthalmic device packaging solutions comprising a poloxamine/erythritol mixture

A method for preparing an ophthalmic device containing an ultraviolet (UV) blocker is disclosed. The method involves (a) soaking an ophthalmic device in one or more first solvent solutions to swell the ophthalmic device; (b) soaking the swelled ophthalmic device in one or more second solvents solutions comprising a UV blocker to de-swell the ophthalmic device and entrap the UV blocker in the ophthalmic device, wherein the UV blocker is a benzotriazole and (c) sterilizing the de-swelled ophthalmic device.
