  • MULTI-LAYER STRUCTURE FOR AN IMPROVED PRESBYOPIA-CORRECTING LENS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING SAME
    Publication number: 20230301778
    Abstract: Certain embodiments provide an intraocular lens (IOL) including a lens body having an anterior lens element and a posterior lens element, and an optical fluid in a cavity formed between the anterior lens element and the posterior lens element. The anterior lens element and the posterior lens element each comprise a lens material having a first Abbe number, and the optical fluid has a second Abbe number that is less than the first Abbe number.

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING CONTACT LENSES
    Publication number: 20220266554
    Abstract: The invention provides a method producing contact lenses, comprising the step of: separating the mold into the male and female mold halves, with the silicone hydrogel contact lens adhered on one of the male and female mold halves; bring a shaped ultrasonic horn in direct contact with at least one area of a non-optical surface of the female mold half or the male mold half having the molded silicone hydrogel contact lens attached thereon; and applying a ultrasonic vibrational energy to the at least one area of the non-optical surface of the female mold half or the male mold half having the molded silicone hydrogel contact lens attached thereon so as to separate the molded silicone hydrogel contact lens from the mold half attached thereon.
