The present invention relates to a surface treatment agent for soft contact lens, containing a reaction product obtained through a reaction between a poly(meth)acrylic acid which has an average molecular weight of 1,000 to 2,000,000, and a copolymer (P) which is obtained through polymerization of a specified hydrophilic monomer (n) and a specified reactive monomer (n), wherein in the copolymer, the hydrophilic monomer (n) is 80 to 99 mol %, the reactive monomer (n) is 1 to 20 mol %, and a weight average molecular weight is 10,000 to 5,000,000. The surface treatment agent tremendously enhances surface hydrophilicity of a soft contact lens to improve discomfort.

Surface treatment agent for soft contact lens

The present invention is a contact lens treatment solution containing the following copolymer A and copolymer B in a ratio of A/B=1000/1 to 2/1 (by weight). According to the present invention, there can be provided a contact lens treatment solution capable of removing dirt having adhered to contact lens surfaces and capable of imparting persisting hydrophilicity to contact lens surfaces, by simple immersion treatment.

Contact lens treatment solution

The present invention is a contact lens treatment solution containing the following copolymer A and copolymer B in a ratio of A/B=40/1 to 5/1 (by weight). According to the present invention, there can be provided a contact lens treatment solution capable of removing dirt having adhered to contact lens surfaces, capable of improving lubricity of contact lens surfaces and capable of imparting persisting hydrophilicity to contact lens surfaces, by simple immersion treatment. Copolymer A: a copolymer obtained by copolymerization of a monomer (a) represented by formula (1) and a monomer (b) represented by formula (2), in which the copolymerization ratio of the monomer (a) to the monomer (b), a/b=7/3 to 9/1 (by mol), and having a weight-average molecular weight of 400,000 to 800,000.Copolymer B: a copolymer obtained by copolymerization of a monomer (a) represented by the formula (1) and a monomer (b) represented by the formula (2), in which the copolymerization ratio of the monomer (a) to the monomer (b), a/b=2/1 to 8/1 (by mol), and having a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000,000 to 1,500,000.
