The invention relates to an ophthalmological composition comprising a polymer, which comprises at least one hydrophobic monomer of the general formula (I), wherein the polymer has a water absorption capacity of at most 10% and R1, R2, and R3 are hydrogen or alkyl groups independently of each other, Y is O or NR4 with R4 selected from among hydrogen or an alkyl group, X is O, S, SO, or SO2, S is a structural unit selected from among CR5 2 and/or (CR5 2CR5 2O)°CR5 2, wherein all R5s are hydrogen and/or alkyl groups independently of each other, n and o are an integer between 1 and 10 independently of each other, and m is an integer between 2 and 6. The invention further relates to an ophthalmological lens comprising such a polymer.
