Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/208450
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Described herein is a method for producing a contact lens comprising a central photochromic zone that has a diameter of about 13 mm or less and is concentric with the central axis of the contact lens. The method comprises: applying, in the center of the molding surface of a male mold half, a drop (having a volume of about 5µL or less) of a first polymerizable fluid composition containing at least one photochromic compound and a relatively-high molecular weight polysiloxane vinylic crosslinker for increasing the viscosity and adhesion on the molding surface of the male mold half; dosing a second polymerizable fluid composition in a female mold hald; closing the female mold hald with the male mold half with the drop thereon to form a molding assembly; and curing the second polymerizable fluid composition and the drop of the first polymerizable fluid composition in the molding assembly.

Description:
Method for Making Photochromic Contact Lenses This invention is related to a method for producing silicone hydrogel contact lenses having a central photochromic zone. This invention also provides silicone hydrogel contact lenses made according to a method of the invention. BACKGROUND Conventionally, UV-absorbing compounds have been incorporated into contact lenses to make UV-absorbing contact lenses to protect eyes from UV-radiations. Recently, there have been proposed various photochromic contact lenses for protecting eyes from UV- radiations (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos.4681412, 6017121, 6174464, 6224945, 7261844, 7368072,, 7556750, 7560056, 7584630, 7641337, 7999989, 8158037, 8697770, 8741188, 9052438, 9097916, 9377569, 9465234, 9904074, 10197707). Those proposed photochromic contact lenses contains photochromic compounds which are capable of undergoing a reversible color change, e.g., from “clear” to blue or other color, upon exposure to UV/HEVL radiation. Typically, photochromic contact lenses can be obtained by adding a photochromic compound in a polymerizable composition (i.e., lens formulation) for forming the contact lenses and then by curing the polymerizable composition in contact lens molds according to a cast-molding lens manufacturing process. A conventional cast-molding lens manufacturing process comprises: one single-step curing (polymerizing) of one single polymerizable composition (lens formulation) within disposable plastic molds typically consisting of two single-use mold halves; opening molds; optionally but preferably delensing (i.e., removing cast-molded lenses from the molds); and being subjected to various post-molding processes including extraction, hydration, packaging, and sterilization, etc. However, photochromic contact lenses obtained according to such a conventional cast-molding process have photochromic compound incorporated uniformly within the polymer matrix of the photochromic contact lenses and are, from edge-to-edge, capable of undergoing a reversible color change upon exposure to UV/HEVL-radiation. Such photochromic contact lenses are not desirable for cosmetic reasons. It would be desirable to produce a photochromic contact lens that changes color only in the central pupil region. U.S. Pat. Nos.7368072, 7560056, 8697770 and 9904074 disclose methods for making photochromic contact lenses only the central pupillary regions of which can undergo a reversible color change upon exposure to UV/HEVL-radiation. Those methods comprise steps of: dosing a photochromic lens-forming composition onto the central region of the molding surface of a mold half and followed by adding a clear lens-forming composition on the top of the photochromic lens-forming composition, wherein the photochromic lens- forming composition has a viscosity much higher than the clear lens-forming composition; mating with the other mold half to form a cavity with the photochromic and clear lens-forming compositions therewithin; and curing the photochromic and clear lens-forming compositions within the cavity of the mold to form the photochromic contact lens. However, handling and dosing of a high viscous photochromic lens-forming composition could be challenging in a production environment. Therefore, there is still a need for a method for making photochromic silicone hydrogel contact lenses only the central pupillary regions of which can undergo a reversible color change upon exposure to UV/HEVL-radiation. SUMMARY The invention, in some aspects, provides a method for producing silicone hydrogel contact lenses, comprising the steps of: (1) obtain a first polymerizable fluid composition and a second polymerizable fluid composition, wherein the first polymerizable fluid composition comprises at least one free-radical initiator, at least one first polymerizable material, and at least one photochromic compound, wherein said at least one polymerizable material comprises at least one first polysiloxane vinylic crosslinker that has a weight-averaged molecular weight of about 5000 Daltons or higher and is present in the first polymerizable composition in an amount of about 40% by weight or more, wherein the second polymerizable fluid composition comprises said at least one free-radical initiator and at least one second polymerizable material and is free of any photochromic compound; (2) obtaining a lens mold, wherein the lens mold comprises a male mold half having a first molding surface defining the posterior surface of a contact lens to be molded and a female mold half having a second molding surface defining the anterior surface of the contact lens to be molded, wherein the female and male mold halves are configured to receive each other such that a mold cavity is formed between the first and second molding surfaces when the mold is closed; (3) applying a drop of the first polymerizable fluid composition onto the geometrial center of the first molding of the male mold half, wherein the drop has a volume of about 5µL or less; (4) dispensing an amount of the second polymerizable fluid composition on the second molding surface of the female mold half; (5) closing the female mold half with the male mold half having the drop adhered thereon to form a molding assembly comprising the second polymerizable composition and the drop of the first polymerizable composition within the mold cavity; (6) curing the second polymerizable fluid composition and the drop of the first polymerizable composition to form an unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens having a central photochromic zone that has a diameter of about 13 mm or less, is concentric with the central axis of the unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens; (7) separating the molding assembly into the male and female mold halves, with the unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens adhered onto a lens-adhered mold half which is one of the male and female mold halves; (8) removing the unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens from the lens- adhered mold half; and (9) subjecting the unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens to post-molding processes including a hydration process and one or more other processes selected from the group consisting of extraction, surface treatment, packaging, sterilization, and combinations thereof. The invention, in other aspects, provides silicone hydrogel contact lenses produced according to a method of the invention BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Figure 1 schematically illustrates a hydrogel contact lens according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Figure 1 schematically illustrates a SiHy contact lens of the invention. The SiHy contact lens 100 has an aterior surface 102, an opposite posterior surface, a central axis 101, and a central zone 110 that has a diameter 120 and is concentric with the central axis 101 of the SiHy contact lens 100. The central zone 110 comprises at least one photochromic compound that is distributed in its back portion 112 (a portion near and including a central portion of the posterior surface) and provides the photochromic functionality to the central zone. The invention is partly based on the discovery that such contact lenses can be produced according to a process involving: applying, in the center of the molding surface of a male mold half, a drop of a first polymerizable fluid composition containing at least one photochromic compound and a relatively-high molecular weight polysiloxane vinylic crosslinker for increasing viscosity and adhesion on the molding surface of the male mold half; dosing a second polymerizable fluid composition in a female mold hald; closing the female mold hald with the male mold half with the drop thereon to form a molding assembly; and curing the second polymerizable fluid composition and the drop of the first polymerizable fluid composition in the molding assembly. It is found that by selecting the averaged molecular weight and amount of a polysiloxane vinylic monomer, one can increase the viscosity of the first polymerizable fluid composition and its adhesion on the molding surface of a male mold half sufficiently to enable a drop of the first polymerizable composition adhered on the molding surface and not to diffuse into the second polymerizable fluid composition in the female mold hald when the male and female mold halves are closed to form a molding assembly. can be achieved by controlling the amount of visible light irradiation exposed on the circular layer in the female mold half (e.g., through controlling the exposure time of the the actinic irradiation). Then, the subsequent curing step will produce silicone hydrogel contact lenses, each of which comprises a central photochromic zone that has a diameter of about 13 mm or less and is concentric with the central axis of the unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens. A method of the invention can offer the following advantages. First, a method of the invention can enasure the physical integrity of produced hydrogel contact lenses. It can also avoid issue of delamination. Further, the photochromic functionality is limited in the optical zone of a contact lens, i.e., over the pupil area of an eye when being worn.

For example, a diisocyanate, di-carboxylic acid (preferably a di-carboxylic acid anhydride), di-aziridine, di-epoxy, or di-azlactone compound can be used in the coupling of the first and second reactive functional groups when they are different or same and are selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, primary amino, secondary amino, and thiol groups; a di-amine, di-hydroxyl, di-thiol, hydroxy-containing amine, or hydroxy-containing thiol compound can be used in the coupling of the first and second reactive functional groups when they are different or same and are selected from the group consisting of isocyanate, epoxy, aziridine, and carboxylic acid groups; a di-epoxy compound can be used in the coupling of the first and second reactive functional groups when they both are carboxylic acid groups; a di-amine compound can be used in the coupling of the first and second reactive functional groups when they both are aldehyde groups. A person skilled in the art knows well how to select one or more coupling agents, based on selectivity and/or differential reactivity of a given reactive functional group, to link the first and second reactive functional groups to form a photochromic polydiorganosiloxane vinylic crosslinker of the invention.

Lens molds for making contact lenses including hydrogel contact lenses are well known to a person skilled in the art and, for example, are employed in cast molding or spin casting. For example, a mold (for cast molding) generally comprises at least two mold sections (or portions) or mold halves, i.e. first and second mold halves. The first mold half defines a first molding (or optical) surface and the second mold half defines a second molding (or optical) surface. The first and second mold halves are configured to receive each other such that a lens-forming cavity is formed between the first molding surface and the second molding surface. The molding surface of a mold half is the cavity-forming surface of the mold and in direct contact with the polymerizable composition. Methods of manufacturing mold sections for cast molding a contact lens are generally well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The process of the present invention is not limited to any particular method of forming a mold. In fact, any method of forming a mold can be used in the present invention. In general, a mold comprises at least two mold halves (or mold sections), one male half and one female mold half. The male mold half has a first molding (or optical) surface which is in direct contact with a polymerizable composition for cast molding of a contact lens and defines the posterior (concave) surface of a molded contact lens; and the female mold half has a second molding (or optical) surface which is in direct contact with the polymerizable composition and defines the anterior (convex) surface of the molded contact lens. The male and female mold halves are configured to receive each other such that a lens-forming cavity is formed between the first molding surface and the second molding surface. The mold halves can be formed through various techniques, such as injection molding. Methods of manufacturing mold halves for cast-molding a contact lens are generally well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The process of the present invention is not limited to any particular method of forming a mold. In fact, any method of forming a mold can be used in the present invention. The first and second mold halves can be formed through various techniques, such as injection molding or lathing. Examples of suitable processes for forming the mold halves are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.4444711; 4460534; 5843346; and 5894002. Virtually all materials known in the art for making molds can be used to make molds for making contact lenses. For example, polymeric materials, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, PMMA, Topas ® COC grade 8007-S10 (clear amorphous copolymer of ethylene and norbornene, from Ticona GmbH of Frankfurt, Germany and Summit, New Jersey), or the like can be used. Other materials that allow UV light transmission could be used, such as quartz glass and sapphire. In accordance with the invention, the first or second polymerizable fluid composition can be dispensed onto the molding surface of a female mold half according to any known techniques. A specific amount of a second polymerizable fluid composition is typically dispensed into a female mold half by means of a dispensing device and then a male mold half is put on and the mold is closed. As the mold closes, any excess second polymerizable fluid composition is pressed into an overflow provided on the female mold half (or alternatively on the male mold half). The molding assmbly (i.e., the closed mold containing the second polymerizable fluid composition and the drop of the first polymerizable fluid composition) is subsequently cured thermally (i.e., by heating) or actinically (i.e., by actinic radiation, e.g., UV radiation and/or visible radiation) to activate the free-radical initiators, as known to a person skilled in the art, to produce a molded unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens. The actinic curing of the first and second polymerizable fluid compositions in a molding assebly can be carried out by irradiating the closed molding assembly with an UV or visible light, according to any techniques known to a person skilled in the art. In accordance with the invention, any visible light can be used in the partial curing step. Preferably, a visible light in a region between 420 nm to 500 nm is used in the invention. Light source can be any ones emitting light in the 420-500 nm range sufficient to activate acylgermanium photoinitiators. Blue-light sources are commercially available and include: the Palatray CU blue-light unit (available from Heraeus Kulzer, Inc., Irvine, Calif.), the Fusion F450 blue light system (available from TEAMCO, Richardson, Tex.), Dymax Blue Wave 200, LED light sources from Opsytec (435 nm, 445 nm, 460 nm), and the GE 24" blue fluorescent lamp (available from General Electric Company, U.S.). A preferred blue-light source is the LED from Opsytec (those described above). The thermal curing (i.e., polymerization) of the second polymerizable fluid composition and the drop of the first polymerizable fluid composition in the molding assembly can be carried out conveniently in an oven at a temperature of from 25 to 120°C and preferably 40 to 100°C, as well known to a person skilled in the art. The reaction time may vary within wide limits, but is conveniently, for example, from 1 to 24 hours or preferably from 2 to 12 hours. It is advantageous to previously degas the silicone-hydrogel-lens-forming composition and to carry out said copolymerization reaction under an inert atmosphere, e.g., under N 2 or Ar atmosphere. After curing, the molds can be opened according to any techniques known to a person skilled in the art. After the mold is separated, the molded unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens adheres to one of the male and female mold halves. The unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens adhered on the lens-adhered mold half can be removed from the lens-adhered mold half and then subject to one or more post molding processes. For example, unprocessed silicone hydrogel contact lens can be extracted with a liquid extraction liquid medium to remove unpolymerized polymerizable components and formed and oligomers. In accordance with the invention, the extraction liquid medium is any solvent capable of dissolving the organic solvent, unpolymerized polymerizable materials, and oligomers in the dry contact lens. Water, any organic solvents known to a person skilled in the art, or a mixture thereof can be used in the invention. Preferably, the organic solvents used extraction liquid medium are water, a buffered saline, a C 1 -C 3 alkyl alcohol, 1,2- propylene glycol, a polyethyleneglycol having a number average molecular weight of about 400 Daltons or less, a C 1 -C 6 alkylalcohol, or combinations thereof. The hydrogel contact lenses can also be subjected to further processes, such as, for example, surface treatment (for example, such as, plasma treatment, chemical treatments, the grafting of hydrophilic monomers or macromers onto the surface of a lens, Layer-by- layer coating, in-package crosslinking of a thermally-reactive hydrophilic polymeric material, etc.); packaging in lens packages with a packaging solution which can contain about 0.005% to about 5% by weight of a wetting agent (e.g., a hydrophilic polymer), a viscosity-enhancing agent (e.g., methyl cellulose (MC), ethyl cellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), or a mixture thereof), or an in-package-coating material; sterilization such as autoclave at from 118 to 124°C for at least about 30 minutes; and the like. Preferred surfaces treatments are LbL coating such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos.6451871, 6719929, 6793973, 6811805, and 6896926, plasma treatment, in-package- coating such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.8557334, 8529057 and 9505184. A preferred plasma treatment is those processes in which an ionized gas is applied to the surface of an article as described in U.S. Pat. Nos.4312575 and 4632844. The hydrogel contact lens is hydrated in water or an aqueous solution to replace the liquid extraction medium, according to any method known to a person skilled in the art. The hydrated and/or surface-treated photochromic contact lens can further subject to further processes, such as, for example, packaging in lens packages with a packaging solution which is well known to a person skilled in the art; sterilization such as autoclave at from 118 to 124°C for at least about 30 minutes; and the like. Lens packages (or containers) are well known to a person skilled in the art for autoclaving and storing a soft contact lens. Any lens packages can be used in the invention. Preferably, a lens package is a blister package which comprises a base and a cover, wherein the cover is detachably sealed to the base, wherein the base includes a cavity for receiving a sterile packaging solution and the contact lens. Lenses are packaged in individual packages, sealed, and sterilized (e.g., by autoclave at about 120°C or higher for at least 30 minutes under pressure) prior to dispensing to users. A person skilled in the art will understand well how to seal and sterilize lens packages. A SiHy contact lens of the invention has an oxygen permeability of preferably at least about 40 barrers, more preferably at least about 60 barrers, even more preferably at least about 80 barrers (at about 35°C). A hydrogel contact lens of the invention has an elastic modulus of about 1.5 MPa or less, preferably about 1.2 MPa or less, more preferably from about 0.3 MPa to about 1.0 MPa (at a temperature of from about 22°C to 28°C).

A hydrogel contact lens obtained according to the method of any one of embodiments 1 to 70. The previous disclosure will enable one having ordinary skill in the art to practice the invention. Various modifications, variations, and combinations can be made to the various embodiment described herein. In order to better enable the reader to understand specific embodiments and the advantages thereof, reference to the following examples is suggested. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary. Example 1 Oxygen Permeability Measurements Unless specified, the oxygen transmissibility (Dk /t), the intrinsic (or edge-corrected) oxygen permeability (Dk i or Dk c ) of a lens and a lens material are determined according to procedures described in ISO 18369-4. Equilibrium Water Content The equilibrium water content (EWC) of contact lenses are determined as follows. Amount of water (expressed as percent by weight) present in a hydrated hydrogel contact lens, which is fully equilibrated in saline solution, is determined at room temperature. Quickly stack the lenses, and transfer the lens stack to the aluminum pan on the analytical balance after blotting lens in a cloth. The number of lenses for each sample pan is typically five (5). Record the pan plus hydrated weight of the lenses. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Place pans in a laboratory oven at 100±2 °C to dry for 16-18 hours. Remove pan plus lenses from the oven and cool in a desiccator for at least 30 minutes. Remove a single pan from the desiccator, and discard the aluminum foil. Weigh the pan plus dried lens sample on an analytical balance. Repeat for all pans. The wet and dry weight of the lens samples can be calculated by subtracting the weight of the empty weigh pan. Elastic Modulus The elastic modulus of a contact lens is determined using a MTS insight instrument. The contact lens is first cut into a 3.12 mm wide strip using Precision Concept two stage cutter. Five thickness values are measured within 6.5mm gauge length. The strip is mounted on the instrument grips and submerged in PBS (phosphate buffered saline) with the temperature controlled at 21 ± 2 °C. Typically 5N Load cell is used for the test. Constant force and speed is applied to the sample until the sample breaks. Force and displacement data are collected by the TestWorks software. The elastic modulus value is calculated by the TestWorks software which is the slope or tangent of the stress vs. strain curve near zero elongation, in the elastic deformation region. Chemicals PrOH represent 1-propanol; TAA represents tert-amyl alcohol; EtOAc represents ethyl acetate; DMA represents N,N-dimethylacrylamide; MMA represents methyl methacrylate; EGMA represents ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate; TEGDMA represent triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate; D6 represents monobutyl-terminated monomethacryloxypropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (Mw ~ 750 g/mol g/mol from Shin- Etsu); GA represents a hydrophilized polysiloxane vinylic crosslinker of formula (G) (Mn ~ 6.8K g/mol, OH content ~ 1.2 meq/g from Shin-Etsu); “G4” macromer represents a di- methacryloyloxypropyl-terminated polysiloxane (Mn ~ 13.5K g/mol, OH content ~ 1.8 meq/g) of formula (A) shown above; Vazo 64 represents 2,2'-dimethyl-2,2'azodipropiononitrile; Nobloc is 2-[3-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]ethyl methacrylate from Aldrich; Norbloc is 2-[2'-hydroxy-5'-(2-methacryloxyethyl)phenyl)]-2H-benzotriaz ole from Aldrich; NPD-blue represent a polymerizable naphthopyran photochromic dye having a blue color in activated state (from Vivimed); NPD-green represetns a polymerizable naphthopyran photochromic dye having a green color in activated state (from Vivimed); RB247 is Reactive Blue 247. Polymerizable Compositions Two polymerizable compositions for forming silicone hydrogel materials are prepared by blending all the required components to have the compositions shown in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 Table 2 Fabrication of SiHy contact lens with a central photochromic zone Formulation 2A is purged with nitrogen at room temperature for 30 to 35 minutes. ~ 3 µL of Formulation 2A is dosed to the geometrical center of the molding surface of a male (BC) mold half (made of polypropylene) of a plastic mold (power: -3.0) to form a drop in the geometrical center of the molding surface of the male mold half. Formulation 2B is purged with nitrogen at room temperature for 30 to 35 minutes. ~60 µL of N 2 -purged Formulation 2B is added onto the molding surface of the female (FC) mold half and then the mold is closed with the male (BC) mold half having the drop adhered thereon to form a molding assembly comprising Formulation 2B and the drop of the Formulation 2A. The molding assembly is thermally cured in an oven under the following curing profile: ramp from room temperature to 55°C at a ramp rate of about 7°C/minute; holding at 55°C for about 30 minutes; ramp from 55°C to 80°C at a ramp rate of about 7°C/minute; holding at 80°C for about 30 minutes; ramp from 80°C to 100°C at a ramp rate of about 7°C/minute; and holding at 100°C for about 30 minutes. After de-molding, cast-molded SiHy contact lenses are extracted with PrOH for 180 minutes and then rinsed in PB (phosphate buffer containing about 0.077 wt.% NaH 2 PO 4 ·H 2 O and about 0.31 wt.% Na 2 HPO 4 ·2H 2 O) for 1 hour.
