More Information
Summary:A method for manufacturing an ophthalmic lens comprising introducing a volume of photocurable lens material into a container, wherein said container comprises a mold surface. The method further comprises creating a digital 3-D mathematical model defining corrective needs of an eye and projecting programmed patterns of UV light through said mold via a pattern generator, wherein said programmed patterns of UV light cure said photocurable lens material into a lens shape defined by said mold surface and said digital model.
