Abstract
A method of making a one-piece intraocular lens formed from a copolymer of a hydrophilic monomer and an alkoxy-alkylmethacrylate. The intraocular lens is foldable so as to be insertable through a small incision in the eye. Copolymers of the lens have an equilibrium water content of from about 10 to about 38 percent by weight based on the total weight of the hydrated copolymer.
