[en] The invention relates to an organic transparent liquid composition comprising preformed polymeric chains having some photoactive groups per chain that can reversibly couple, being capable in this way to form a transparent solid polymer network with a shape that can be repeatedly and reversibly adjusted by at least local irradiation of the network with electromagnetic waves of different wave lengths whereby the liquid composition is cross-linked at at least one wave length L1 on the one hand and is liquid again by cleaving the cross-link nodes by irradiating the material at at least one other wavelength L2 on the other hand in order to repeatedly adjust the optical properties of said composition in its photo-cross linked state. The composition is applicable as a starting material for intraocular lenses and for other lenses and optical elements.
