Definitions
- This invention provides a method for treating ophthalmic lenses in its package with an organic surface treatment agent.
- a conventional manner of packaging ophthalmic lenses, especially contact lenses, is in a so-called blister package.
- Such packages include a recess designed to hold an individual lens, which is typically immersed in a saline packaging solution.
- the packages are then enclosed and sealed with lidstock, the lidstock conventionally being a metallic laminate that can withstand post-packaging heat sterilization conditions.
- the packaging solution may include various agents.
- packaging solutions for blister packages have sometimes been formulated to reduce or eliminate lens folding and sticking. For this reason, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been used in contact lens packaging solutions.
- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- U.S. Patent No. 6,440,366 discloses contact lens packaging solutions comprising polyethylene oxide (PEO)/polypropylene oxide (PPO) block copolymers, especially poloxamers or poloxamines.
- This invention recognized that it may be desirable to effect attachment of the treatment agent to the lens surfaces while the lens is contained in a package, for example, to reduce material handling steps and the accompanying costs associated therewith. And if one employs a solution, containing the treatment agent, that is ophthalmically compatible, this solution may serve as the final packaging solution, and the heat sterilization of the package and its contents can serve to effect chemical attachment of the treatment agent to the lens surfaces.
- Figure l is a top perspective view of a first embodiment of a lens blister package suitable for the method of this invention.
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the lens blister package of Figure 1, taken along line A-A of Figure 3.
- Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the lens blister package of Figure 1, taken along line B-B of Figure 3.
- Silicone hydrogels typically have a water content between about 10 to about 80 weight percent.
- silicone-containing monomers examples include bulky polysiloxanylalkyl (meth)acrylic monomers.
- An example of such monofunctional, bulky polysiloxanylalkyl (meth)acrylic monomers are represented by the following Formula I:
- * denotes a urethane or ureido linkage; a is at least 1 ;
- each R 5 independently denotes an alkyl or fluoro-substituted alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may contain ether linkages between carbon atoms; m' is at least 1; and p is a number which provides a moiety weight of 400 to 10,000; each of E and E' independently denotes a polymerizable unsaturated organic radical represented by Formula VII:
- X denotes -CO- or -OCO-
- the surface treatment agent is attached to the lens surfaces by at least one of covalent bonding, ionic attachment, and hydrogen bonding.
- Covalent bonding denotes that a chemical reaction occurs between the treatment agent and the lens surface, so that covalent bonds are formed therebetween.
- Ionic attachment denotes that the lens surfaces are ionically charged, and the organic surface treatment agent contains moieties with an opposite, ionic charge.
- the lens surfaces may be anionic charged, and the treatment agent may be cationic or zwitterionic, that interacts with the anionic lens surface.
- organic surface treatment agents may be employed, including treatment agents known in the art.
- the reactive groups of the treatment agent are matched with the reactive groups on the lens surface.
- the lens surfaces contain carboxylic acid groups
- a glycidyl group can be a reactive group of the surface treatment agent.
- an isocyanate group or carbonyl chloride group can be a reactive group of the surface treatment agent.
- this solution also serves as the final packaging solution, and this solution is ophthalmically compatible. Then, when the package contents are heat sterilized, this heat treatment can serve to effect chemical attachment of the treatment agent to the lens surfaces, if needed. Any excess treatment agent, not attached to the lens surfaces, remains in the final packaging solution.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a second embodiment of a blister package.
- Package 11 includes a substrate 13 including recess 12 formed therein.
- recess 12 is a concave recess, i.e., a rounded bowl shape.
- the bottom includes three interconnected, longitudinal grooves 17 therein.
- Figure 7 illustrates a third embodiment of a blister package.
- Package 21 includes a substrate 23 including recess 22 formed therein.
- recess 22 has a somewhat oval-shaped flat bottom, and the bottom includes four longitudinal grooves 27 therein.
