We manufactured functional contact lens materials using 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone, titanium(VI) isopropoxide and nanogold, nanoplatinum with UV-blocking and antimicrobial effects. Contact lens was manufactured by cast mould method. The resulting mixture was copolymerized by heating at 70 ^oC for about 40 min, at 80 ^oC for about 40 min, and finally at 100 ^oC for about 40 min. The refractive index of 1.434 ~ 1.436, water content of 35.24 ~ 36.32%, and visible transmittance of 88.3 ~ 90.8% were obtained for the contact lens materials. The polymer materials satisfied the physical properties required to make the material suitable to be applied as a functional material for ophthalmological purposes.
