This study was planned to prepare the high strength hydrogel ophthalmic lens containing isocyanate group and nanoparticles. HDI with carbon nanoparticles were used as additives for the basic combination of HEMA, MA and MMA, and the materials were copolymerized with EGDMA as the cross-linking agent and AIBN as the initiator. The mixture was heated at 100oC for an hour to produce the high performance hydrogel ophthalmic lens by cast mold method. Measurement of the physical characteristics of the produced material showed that the refractive index was in the range of 1.4027~1.4600, water content 25.21~44.01%, contact angle 54.18~72.94°, visible light transmittance 53.03~92.09%, and tensile strength 0.1024~0.2359 kgf and breaking strength was 0.0872~0.2825 kgf. The results showed an increase of refractive index while the decrease in water content. And also, the breaking strength was highest when the addition ratio of HDI was 5%(wt). As a result of the absorbance measurement, no significant difference was observed in all the samples, so it can be judged that the stabilization of nanoparticles in the polymer was maintained.
