The material according to the invention is a hydrophobic, cross-linked, acrylic copolymer of at least the following monomers:an arylalkoxy-acrylate different from a 2-phenoxy-(2-ethoxy)n-acrylate with 4≦n≦6；a 2-phenoxy-(2-ethoxy)n-acrylate with 4≦n≦6, preferably 2-phenoxy-tetraethylene-glycol acrylate；a hydroxylated acrylate；a hydroxylated methacrylate；an ethoxylated diol diacrylate； andan ethoxylated diol dimethacrylate.It is obtained in one single step of radical polymerization, in the presence of a transfer agent during the cross-linking. It thus has a physical structure corresponding to a three-dimensional macromolecular network with hanging chains.This material is used for manufacturing intraocular lenses (1) with low glistening that are not self-adhering.
