Abstract: A polish cloth including a polish layer having a polish surface configured to contact a polish object; a recess formed into the polish surface; and a coating applied at least along a bottom surface of the recess, the coating being made of a water repellant and oil repellant material.

Abstract: A first polarizing beam splitter splits the light emitted by a light source into a measurement beam and a reference beam. The reference beam is returned by a second polarizing beam splitter and an optical member which is constituted by a right angle prism and a pentaprism, reenters the first polarizing beam splitter via a half wavelength plate and guided to a detector. On the other hand, the measurement beam is reflected by a corner mirror, is returned by the second polarizing beam splitter and the optical member, is reflected by the corner mirror again, reenters the first polarizing beam splitter via a half wavelength plate and guided to the detector. The optical member returns the measurement beam such that the measurement beam exits at the different point from the incident point and that light rays incident thereon in a state shifted from each other are returned with the shifted direction and shifted amount between each light rays kept unchanged.

Abstract: A device comprises a lower die 6 composed of a lower die base portion and a lower die columnar portion of which tip surface is formed with a lower die molding surface corresponding to one surface of an ocular lens material; an upper die 8 composed of an upper die base portion that is fitted into an upper portion of a hollow hole of the cylindrical main body for parting the hollow hole into two, forming an intermediate chamber 18 between itself and the lower die base portion into which the monomer composition is filled, and forming an exterior accumulating chamber 20 on a side of an upper aperture of the hollow hole into which the monomer composition is accumulated, and an upper die columnar portion of which tip surface is formed with an upper die molding surface corresponding to another surface of the ocular lens material, wherein a molding cavity 22 having a communicating portion 24 is formed between the upper die molding surface and the lower die molding surface; and not less than three piercing holes 16 pr

Abstract: A method of producing an intraocular lens including a lens body, and at least one support member each of which is inserted into a mounting hole open in a circumferential surface of the lens body, the lens body being obtained by polymerization of a monomer composition in a mold assembly which defines a mold cavity having a profile following that of the lens body, the method comprising the steps of: installing a separately prepared insert member on the mold assembly such that the insert member is located within the mold assembly at a position of the mold cavity corresponding to a region of the lens body where the mounting hole is formed; polymerizing the monomer composition in the mold assembly to provide a workpiece which gives the lens body, such that the workpiece includes the insert member; obtaining the lens body from the workpiece such that at least a portion of the insert member is embedded as an insert in the region of the lens body; and forming the mounting hole in the insert.
