Abstract
Contact lenses, such as hydrogel contact lenses, are described. The present contact lenses include a lens body that is the reaction product of a polymerizable composition. The polymerizable composition includes one or more monomers and a crosslinker that crosslinks the one or more monomers during polymerization. The polymerization of the one or more monomers occurs in the presence of at least two forms of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, each of the at least two forms of polyvinyl pyrrolidone having a different average molecular weight. The at least two forms of polyvinyl pyrrolidone are associated with the first polymer component in the lens body such that a form of polyvinyl pyrrolidone is released from the lens body for at least eight hours based on in vitro release testing. The present invention also relates to packaging systems for use with such lenses and methods of producing such lenses.
