  • Patent number: 6997428
    Abstract: An ophthalmic lens mold includes a first mold half having a front side and a back side. The front side defines an optical surface. A second mold half has a front side defining an optical surface. Upon alignment of the first mold half with respect to the second mold half so that the front sides oppose each other, a mold cavity is formed between the front sides to form an ophthalmic lens therein from a moldable material. The first mold half includes a first section that transmits curing light and that extends from the back side to the front side. The first section includes at an area of the first mold half optical surface enclosed by an outermost circumference of the ophthalmic lens. A second section is co-molded with the first section and blocks the light.
