Abstract: A silicone contact lens has a radial cross-section of the inner face, the rim portion contour of which is convex between a point of inflection and the outer edge. For its manufacture, a silicone precursor is brought between a female and a male mold and is polymerized, and the polymerized contact lens is released from the mold by means of a liquid swelling same.
Abstract: A hydrophilizingly coated silicone contact lens has a radial cross-section of the inner face (1), the rim portion contour of which is convex (7) between a point of inflection (6) and the outer edge. For its manufacture, a silicone precursor is brought between a female and a male mold and is polymerized, and the polymerized contact lens is released from the mold by means of a liquid swelling same and is completed after a PECVD/CVD-coating without edge cutting.
