  • Patent number: 5620720
    Abstract: The invention provides a disposable plastic mold assembly for an intraocular lens or the optic body thereof, which is inexpensive, less labor intensive than prior art intraocular lens molding techniques, and produces an intraocular lens having smooth, polished edges which require little or no post-mold finishing work. Numerous innovative features of the invention include an edge design which assures a seal between the male and female molds to thereby minimize flash during the cast molding operation, and the provision of a way to pre-align the male and female molds during assembly, consisting of an interference fitting relationship between the male and female molds.
