Abstract: The present invention is directed towards adhering a contact lens button on a fixture for use in shaping, forming and/or otherwise configuring a contact lens. For example, in accordance with one exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a combination of adhesive materials are used to adhere the lens to the fixture. For example, a first layer of water soluble adhesive is placed on the lens button. A second layer of non-water soluble adhesive is then placed on the first layer, and the button is mounted to the fixture. Both layers are subsequently removable by placing the button in a water bath, dissolving the water soluble layer and likewise separating the water insoluble layer.

Abstract: A laminated contact lens according to the present invention includes at least a first contact lens and a second contact lens coupled to each other via the peripheral edge of each respective contact lens. The two contact lenses include a proximity zone depth and/or proximity zone width different from one another such that one or more chambers are formed between the two contact lenses. Various materials and/or components may be housed within the chamber to provide, among other things, vision correction tools, medicament administration, and/or cosmetic improvements to the user.
