Characterization and quantitation of PVP content in a silicone hydrogel contact lens produced by dual‐phase polymerization processing

Abstract: Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) has been incorporated over the years into numerous hydrogel contact lenses as both a primary matrix component and an internal wetting agent to increase lens wettability. In this study, complementary analytical techniques were used to characterize the PVP wetting agent component of senofilcon A and samfilcon A contact lenses, both in terms of chemical composition and amount present. Photo-differential scanning calorimetry (photo-DSC), gas chromatography with a flame ionization detecto… Show more

“…Examples of drugs used in ophthalmics in combination with PVP include chloramphenicol, pilocarpine, timolol, prednisolone, etc. In the case of ophthalmics, low molecular weight grades are used for eye drops and suspensions whereas high molecular weight grades are preferred for contact lens solutions [ 105 ].…”

“…Another new technology, consisting of two-phase reaction, is used in the samfilcon A (Bausch and Lomb Ultra ® ) CLs. [25] In phase 1, a unique combination of short and long chain silicone polymers makes a flexible silicone matrix with channels for oxygen transmission. In phase 2, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) which is a high water affinity material and makes the lens containing water everywhere on the lens not just at its surface.…”
