The invention provides a method for producing photochromic silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses based on thermal cast-molding technology in a relatively efficient and consistent manner. The method is characterized by selecting a high radical-reactive hydrophilic acrylic monomer while eliminating any low radical-reactive hydrophilic N-vinyl amide monomer in a lens formulation (polymerizable composition), by selecting a weight ratio of low-radical-reactive hydrophilic N-vinyl amide monomer to a high radical-reactive hydrophilic acrylic monomer in a lens formulation if the low radical-reactive hydrophilic N-vinyl amide monomer is needed, and/or by using a relatively high temperature thermal initiator in a lens formulation, to control the lens properties (e.g., water content, elastic modulus, etc.) and lens processability (capability of dry-delensing from molds) of thermally cast-molded SiHy contact lenses while minimizing loss in photochromic ability of resultant SiHy contact lenses.

A release coating composition comprises (A) an organopolysiloxane containing at least two (2) ethylenically unsaturated groups, (B) an organopolysiloxane containing at least 2 Si—H groups per molecule, and (C) a hydrosilylation catalyst. If the organopolysiloxane (A) contains only 2 ethylenically unsaturated groups, the organopolysiloxane (B) contains on average more than 2 Si—H groups per molecule. The composition further comprises (D1) a hydrosilylation inhibitor comprising a maleimide of the general formula (I):

##STR00001##

In formula (I), A.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and A.sup.1 and A.sup.2 each represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms. The composition yet further comprises (D2) a second hydrosilylation inhibitor selected from acetylenic compounds, ethylenically unsaturated isocyanates, acetylenically unsaturated silanes and unsaturated dicarboxylic acid diesters or a maleate compound or a mixture thereof.

A coating that is able to shed accumulated material (such as ice) that includes a crosslinkable copolymer with hydrogen bonding moieties and liquid-like side chains, and an oil (or other non-aqueous liquid) that is compatible with the side-chains and that resides in the crosslinked coating and on the surface of the coating together with the side-chains that are on the external surface. Methods may use the coating for de-icing, shedding of marine organisms, and smudge-repellency.
