Abstract: A system (10) and method for manufacturing ophthalmic devices, in particular contact lenses or intraocular lenses, the system comprising: at least one injection molding machine for manufacturing a cup bottom part (202) and cup top part (204) to form a cast mold, a cooling station (30), an injection assembly (120) arranged for injecting an amount of monomeric material into the cup bottom part, a curing assembly (130), a first optical inspection assembly (140) for determining at least one first optical cup part parameter, a second optical inspection assembly (150) for determining at least one optical combination parameter of the combination of the cured monomeric material formed into a lens and the cup part that bears the lens, and an electronic control (14) provided with a calculation module for determining at least one optical lens parameter of the lens on the basis of the cup part parameter and the combination parameter.
