    摘要: In manufacturing a contact lens, a contact lens mould arrangement in which the engagement between the mould halves is unconstrained and at least one mould half is sufficiently pliable or flexible that during the curing of the contact lens composition at one mold half may move or flex relative to the other to define a post-cure mould cavity of smaller volume than the pre-cure mould cavity and during which the curvatures of the first and/or second mould surfaces are allowed to change provides a significantly more efficient manufacturing process and enables one mould half to be readily utilized as a blister cup for contact lens packaging.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the hydration and cleaning of hydrophillic moulded products, such as contact lenses (10), moulded between two mould portions (4, 12), with hydration fluid and the removal of the hydration fluid. The mthod comprises the steps of: providing a moulded product (10) held in between the mould surfaces (6, 14) of the two mould portions (4, 12); separating the two mould portions (4, 12) so that the product (10) is held on the mould surface (6, 14) of one of the two mould portions (4, 12); providing a support tray (1) formed and arranged for supporting two mould portions in spaced apart opposed proximity relative to each other so as to captively contain a product (10) in a product holding space (16a) defined by the mould portions so that the mould portions and support tray (1) define fluid passages therebetween for substantially unobstructed flow of fluid through the product holding space (16). Hydration fluid is introduced into the product holding (16) so as to hydrate the moulded product (10), the hydrated product being captively retained in said product holding space (16). Cleaning fluid (2) is introducted into the product holding space (16) so as to substantially flush the product holding space (16) and the moulded product (10) of hydration fluid and any contaminants contained therein.

    摘要: A polyolefin mould for casting contact lenses from a polymerisable monomer composition which shrinks on polymerisation, said mould comprising: male (50) and female (51) mould halves at least one of which has a flexible diaphragm portion (53, 54) which is shaped to provide a surface corresponding to a lenticular surface, said mould halves (50, 51), when closed together, cooperating to define a mould cavity (52) for receiving a volume of said monomer composition, at least one of said mould halves (50, 51) having a shoulder portion (55, 56) surrounding said cavity and shaped to engage with said other mould half to define an edge moulding portion of said cavity; whereby in use said diaphragm (53, 54) is deflected into said cavity under forces exerted on said mould by said monomer composition when polymerised in said closed cavity (52), thereby compensating for the shrinkage occurring on polymerisation and avoiding the formation of bubbles or voids in the resulting lenses. In addition, the invention includes a method of casting contact lenses using a mould of the above kind.
