Abstract:
A method for avoiding the entrapment of air bubbles (5) in a lens forming material (4), in particular in a low viscosity lens forming material, in an ophthalmic lens manufacturing process using mold halves (2, 3) each having a lens forming surface (21, 31) comprises electrostatically charging (60) a lens forming surface (21, 31) of the mold half (2, 3) prior to the lens forming surface (21, 31) coming into contact with the lens forming material (4).
