Sugar polymer has been considered as a biomaterial for medical applications. These biomaterials are widely used in the preparations of burn dressing, artificial membranes and contact lens. In particular, characteristics of contact lens material are moisture content, oxygen permeability, oxygen transmissibility, equivalent oxygen percentage, surface wet ability and refractive index. Hydrogels defined as materials that exhibit the ability to swell in water and retain a significant fraction of water within their structure. Hydrogel may be chemically stable, degradable, eventually disintegradable, and dissolvable. In this study, the objective of experiment is to verify contact-lens properties of poly(sorbitan methacrylate) hydrogel synthesized. Poly(sorbitan methacrylate) is manufactured by free radical polymerization from sorbitan methacrylate as monomer.
