A hydrophilic silicone macromer composition suitable for use in producing hydrogel polymer films from which biomedical devices such as contact lenses can be made. The hydrophilic silicone macromer comprises a polyether backbone comprising a silicone-containing pendant group. In one aspect, a hydrophilic silicone macromer is of the Formula 1: ##STR00001##
The hydrophilic silicone macromer can be used to form a polymer and a hydrogel film suitable for forming contact lenses.

The invention is related to contact lenses that not only comprise the much desired water gradient structural configurations, but also have a minimized uptakes of polycationic antimicrobials and a long-lasting surface hydrophilicity and wettability even after going through a 30-days lens care regime. Because of the water gradient structural configuration and a relatively-thick, extremely-soft and water-rich hydrogel surface layer, a contact lens of the invention can provide superior wearing comfort. Further, a contact lens of the invention is compatible with multipurpose lens care solutions present in the market and can endure the harsh lens care handling conditions (e.g., digital rubbings, accidental inversion of contact lenses, etc.) encountered in a daily lens care regime. As such, they are suitable to be used as weekly- or monthly-disposable water gradient contact lenses.
