To provide: a copolymer containing, as a constituent unit, a polyoxyethylene monomer having a (meth)acryl amide group at a terminal; and devices for eyes having surface hydrophilicity and surface lubricity.SOLUTION: Provided are devices for eyes comprising a copolymer, which is obtained by polymerizing a polyoxyethylene monomer having a (meth)acryl amide group at a terminal and a hydrophilic monomer. The devices have been confirmed to have surface hydrophilicity and surface lubricity.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】末端に（メタ）アクリルアミド基を有するポリオキシエチレン単量体を構成単位に含む共重合体並びに表面親水性及び表面潤滑性を有する眼用デバイスを提供すること。【解決手段】末端に（メタ）アクリルアミド基を有するポリオキシエチレン単量体と親水性単量体を重合して得られる共重合体を含む眼用デバイスは表面親水性及び表面潤滑性を有することを確認して、本発明を完成するに至った。【選択図】なし
