High refractive index and optically clear copoly(carbosilane and siloxane)
elastomers and ophthalmic lenses made therefrom are provided. The
elastomers are comprised of copolymers having carbosilane repeat units
and siloxane repeat units. The copolymers and ophthalmic lenses of the
present invention have a high refractive index and excellent folding
recoverability.
