The present invention is ultraviolet light absorbing biocampatible polymer containing the copolymerization product of a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic acrylic and/or allelic monomers, graft-polymerized with telocollagen, where the hydrophobic monomers include at least one ultraviolet light absorbing hydrophobic acrylic or allelic monomer. The present material is useful in the production of deformable lenses, for example, intraocular lenses, refractive intraocular contact lenses, and standard contact lenses useful, for example, for correcting aphekia, myopia and hypermetropia. |
