Abstract: There are described a method for applying a coating to a surface of an ophthalmic lens mold. The mold includes male and female (20) mold halves, with each of the mold halves being provided with a lens forming surface (21). The method includes applying a temporary coating to at least a portion of at least one of the male and female mold halves (20), the temporary coating being capable of reducing adhesive forces between a lens forming material and the lens forming surface (21); and drying the temporary coating applied to the portion of the lens forming surface (21). Also described is a device (1) for applying such temporary coating to the portion of the lens forming surface (21) of the ophthalmic lens mold.

Abstract: A method for determining residual moisture on and/or within a lens forming surface of a mold half includes the steps of carrying out an infrared inspection of at least a central portion of the lens forming surface of the mold half with the aid of an infrared camera, collecting measurement values resulting from the infrared inspection, which represent a degree of residual moisture on and/or within the lens forming surface, comparing the collected measurement values with a predefined threshold value representing a maximum tolerable residual moisture on and/or within a lens forming surface of a reference mold half, and, upon detection of an exceedance of the predefined threshold value representing the maximum tolerable residual moisture, preventing the inspected mold half from being used further.
