Abstract
An alkoxysilane compound represented by the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, and R.sup.2 denote --CH.sub.3 or --C.sub.2 H.sub.5 and X denotes --COO.sup.- or --SO.sub.3.sup.-, p and n denote an integer of 1 to 3 and q denotes 0 or 1, where p+q=3, a surface processing solution containing the alkoxysilane compound or its acid-processed reaction product and a contact lens surface-processed with the surface processing solution. The alkoxysilane compound is capable of affording hydrophilicity to the surfaces of various substrates and may be utilized in the field of fibers, optical components, medical materials or in inspection and diagnostic drugs, particularly as a surface bound coating composition for contact lenses.
