A hydrophilic ethylenically unsaturated macromonomer is disclosed that is
prepared by the addition polymerization of addition polymerizable
monomers that include monomers that have hydroxyl or amino functional
groups, some of which may be subsequently reacted to provide (meth)acryl
ethylenic unsaturation. The macromonomers may be used to form intraocular
lenses in situ by polymerization of the macromonomers, and thus treat
presbyopia.
