Abstract: The invention is directed to a sandwich colored hydrogel contact lenses lens, comprising: a pupil section, a generally annular iris section surrounding the pupil section, wherein the iris section having at least one colored, printed, opaque, intermittent pattern, wherein the said pattern is covered by a clear donut shape-layer layer, wherein the clear donut shape-layer layer is on inner surface of lens to the observer and has a thickness at least 25 ?m. And the method make such lenses using a common polypropylene base curve (BC Mold 1) and two different front curve molds (FC Mold 1, FC Mold 2) that provided different volume gaps to accommodate the size requirements of the two layers.

Abstract: The invention is related to a coated contact lens, especially a coated silicone hydrogel contact lens, which comprises an anterior surface, an opposite posterior surface, and a layered structural configuration from the anterior surface to the posterior surface. The layered structural configuration comprises an outer anterior surface hydrogel layer, an inner layer, and an outer posterior surface hydrogel layer. The inner layer is a lens bulk material. The coated contact lens has a superior lens surface softness and a good lens surface hydrophilicity while optionally having a desirably-lower polyquaternium-1 uptake.
