Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for casting a progressive addition lens from: a mold incorporating a spherical portion and an add zone; a preformed lens having a convex curvature correlated with the concave curvature of the mold; and a polymerizable resin. The method includes the steps of: placing a predetermined volume of resin into a cavity of the mold; placing the preformed lens into the mold such that a layer of resin spreads out and covers any intervening space between the lens and the mold; and displacing superiorly or nasally by a predetermined magnitude the optical center of the preformed lens with respect to the geometrical center of the mold.
