Definitions

  • This invention relates to polymerizable ultraviolet light absorbers, yellow colorants and their use in ophthalmic lenses.
  • this invention relates to polymerizable ultraviolet light absorbing methine compounds and polymerizable yellow compounds of the methine and anthraquinone classes that block ultraviolet light and/or violet-blue light transmission through ophthalmic lenses.
  • UV ultraviolet
  • IR infrared
  • Solar radiation that is transmitted through the atmosphere and reaches the earth's surface includes UV-A radiation (320-400 nm), UV-B radiation (290-320 nm), visible light (400-700 nm) and near IR radiation (700-1400 nm).
  • UV-A radiation 320-400 nm
  • UV-B radiation 290-320 nm
  • visible light 400-700 nm
  • near IR radiation 700-1400 nm.
  • the ocular lens of humans in its normal, healthy state freely transmits near IR and most of the visible spectrum to the retina, but the lens acts to absorb UV radiation to avoid damage to the retina.
  • the ability to absorb near UV and the violet-blue portion of the visible spectrum changes throughout life.
  • the human lens will freely transmit near UV and visible light above 300 nm, but with further aging the action of UV radiation from the environment causes the production of yellow colorants, fluorogens, within the lens.
  • Some studies indicate that by age 54 the lens will not transmit light below 400 nm and the transmission of light between 400 and 450 nm is greatly diminished. As the lens ages it continuously develops a yellow color, increasing its capacity to filter out near UV and violet-blue light. Therefore, after cataract removal the natural protection provided by the aged human lens is also removed. Cataracts are typically replaced by an intraocular lens (IOL). If the brain is stimulated by signals caused by the visible light that has not been transmitted for many years, discomfort can result. Development of IOL materials with an absorption similar to aged human lens material would be a welcome improvement to the art.
  • IOL intraocular lens
  • the invention solves the problems in the prior art by providing molecules that contain methine chromophores and/or anthraquinone chromophores and ethylenically-unsaturated polymerizable groups.
  • These chromophores are present as structures that include at least one of the following moieties: wherein X is selected from hydrogen or one or two groups selected from hydroxy, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy and halogen.
  • the molecules of the present invention contain these moieties as well as at least one ethylenically-unsaturated polymerizable group that is capable of undergoing free radical polymerization without destroying the moiety.
  • the resulting molecule contains at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated group in addition to the ethylenically unsaturated group(s) depicted. It is to be understood that these moieties are only portions of the molecules and that the molecules contain additional moieties.
  • the molecule of the present invention is one of the compounds represented by Formulae II-VI below: wherein:
  • Formula II depicts a molecule containing moiety 1c.
  • Formula III depicts a molecule containing moiety 1b.
  • Formula IV depicts a molecule containing moiety 1a.
  • Formulae V and VI depict molecules containing moiety 1d.
  • the compounds of the present invention are polymerized with other molecules capable of polymerizing to form a polymer in which the compounds are part of the backbone.
  • the compounds are polymerized with organic monomers to form a material that is transparent to visible light, or that has a degree of absorption or transparency to various light wavelengths that mimics that of a desired material, such as the lens of a mammalian eye of a given age.
  • the invention includes all types of polymers irrespective of the degree of transparency, translucency, or opacity to any type of radiation.
  • these compounds are used in transparent materials to decrease the intensity of violet-blue light transmitted through them.
  • These transparent materials with one or more of the bondable yellow compounds and/or bondable UVAs incorporated in them may be extracted with organic solvents to remove unreacted monomers, low molecular weight oligomers and low molecular weight polymers, as well as other impurities, and then used to make ocular lenses such as intraocular lenses (IOLs), contact lenses, eyeglasses and other windows.
  • IOLs intraocular lenses
  • contact lenses eyeglasses and other windows.
  • These transparent materials containing yellow compounds may also be used to make lens coating materials.
  • the methine chromophores of the present invention do not lose their absorbance properties upon free radical polymerization. This is surprising since the chromophoric unit is an ethylenically unsaturated moiety so that the polymerization reaction involving the chromophoric unit would be expected to result in loss of the absorption properties.
