Publication number: 20230367038Abstract: A contact lens having antioxidant properties is described as well as methods of manufacturing the same. The contact lens can be present in a sealed contact lens package. The seal contact lens package can include at least a) a plastic base member having a cavity; b) a contact lens packaging solution in the cavity; c) a sterile, unworn contact lens immersed in the contact lens packaging solution in the cavity; and d) a cover that forms a liquid-tight seal with the plastic base member. As an example, the unworn contact lens is a silicone hydrogel contact lens having present therein vitamin E. The vitamin E is non-releasable from the unworn contact lens and the contact lens packaging solution has less than 1 ppm of vitamin E present. The vitamin E is trapped, embedded, absorbed, or non-covalently attached in the unworn contact lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: CooperVision International LimitedInventors: Inna MALTSEVA, Nancy J.

Publication number: 20180354213Abstract: Contact lenses having even surface coatings are manufactured by coating a polyvinyl alcohol polymer on a lens-forming surface of a contact lens mold, applying a contact lens coating composition onto the polyvinyl alcohol polymer, and curing a contact lens formulation in the coated contact lens mold. During curing, the coating composition transfers from the mold to the contact lens surface. The polyvinyl alcohol helps prevent the contact lens coating composition from being solubilized by the contact lens composition during the curing step.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2018Publication date: December 13, 2018Applicant: CooperVision International Holding Company, LPInventors: Victoria Tran, Victoria Rogers
