Abstract
Recently, silver has been applied to various fields due to antimicrobial property and high conductivity. We manufactured high-performance ophthalmic material containing silver which could protect eye from environmental factors. We mixed $AgNO_3$ with conventional contact lens material. And then we copolymerized at 70 ${^{\circ}C}$ for 40 minutes under water bath, and estimated antimicrobial activity and physical properties. We used solid culture and liquid culture medium for antimicrobial test. The results of contact lens containing silver showed good antibiosis. In case of physical properties, the results showed 32.35%(water content) and 88.34% (visible transmittance) for each. We judged that we made the copolymer with antimicrobial and physical properties which is suitable for conventional contact lens.
