Abstract
Light Adjustable Lenses (LALs) are described that suppress unintended optical power drift. These LALs comprise a polymer silicone network, infused with a mobile macromer, a non-switchable ultraviolet absorber, a photoinitiator, and a front protection layer, including a switchable ultraviolet absorber. The LAL is light adjustable by a shaped illumination activating the photoinitiator which induces a polymerization of the mobile macromer, thereby changing an optical power of the LAL. The LAL can accommodate an 0.5-20 ppm oxygen concentration; and a ratio of the oxygen concentration times an oxygen-driven photoinitiator quench rate over a mobile macromer concentration times a photoinitiator-driven polymerization add rate is greater than 10. Some of these LALs include a non-switchable ultraviolet absorber in the front protection layer; or a radical scavenger; or a monofunctional, or sterically hindered mobile macromer; or a switchable photoinitiator, or an anchored photoinitiator.
