Abstract
This study added Au colloid in martial of conventional contact lens in various concentrations and copolymerized by heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes, $80^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes, and finally, $100^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes. Using the polymer produced through the copolymerization process, we have produced a contact lens and measured the physical characteristics which showed oxygen transmissibility of $9{\sim}12{\times}10^{-9}$ cm/s mL $O_2$/mL ${\times}$ mmHg, water content of 27.84% ~ 32.17%, refractive index of 1.432 ~ 1.443, visible transmittance of 83.2% ~ 89.5% and tensile strength of 0.141 kgf ~ 0.152 kgf. The polymer satisfied the physical properties required to produce contact lenses. Also, we judged that the polymer is suitable to be applied as a functional material for ophthalmological purposes.
