Abstract

See full text

Hydrophobic casting moulds are treated with electrical discharge, such as corona discharge, to provide enhanced compatibility with hydrophilic objects introduced into the mould, without interfering with the release properties of the mould. A preferred embodiment involves treatment of contact lens casting moulds with corona discharge to provide improvements in the lens manufacturing procedure, as well as enhancement in the quality of the contact lenses themselves. The invention is particularly applicable to the production of contact lenses having a colored iris pattern imprinted thereon.
