Contact Lens-
Manufacturing
Greeshma . G
For Ease Of Manufacturing
The contact lens material should be,
 Be homogeneous
 Have consistent mechanical properties
 Be stress-free and dimensionally stable
 Be durable and resist local heating
 Be easy to polish
 Have predictable hydration characteristics
Lens Materials
Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses
 Cellulose Acetate Butyrate
 Siloxane Acrylates
 t-Butyl Styrene
 Fluro siloxane acrylates
 perfluroethers
Soft Lenses
• PHEMA (polyhydroxyethyl
methacrylate)
• PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone)
• MA (methacrylic acid)
• MMA (methyl methacrylate)
• GMA (glyceryl methacrylate)
• DAA (diacetone acrylamide)
• PVA (polyvinyl alcohol)
Methods of manufacturing
 Cast Molding
 Lathing
 Spin Casting
 Reverse Process III (RP III)
Lathing
Advantages
• Established technology
• Simple
• Wide range of
parameters
• Suits most materials
• Relatively economic to
start production
Disadvantages
• Complex designs
difficult
• Labor intensive
• High cost per lens
• Variable surface finish
• Relatively slow
• Volume production
difficult
Cast molding
 Monomers are mixed and poured into a mold
 Tightly controlled temperatures
 Lens material is heated or cured to produce a mobile phase
 Liquid monomer is injected into
front mold ( ‘female mold’)
 Back mold is clamped (‘male
mold’)
 UV light- polymerization
Molding
Advantages
• Low cost per lens
• Rapid
• Volume production easy
• Good surface quality
• Good reproducibility
• Complex designs
possible
Disadvantages
• Expensive to start
production
• Expense limits
parameter range
• Not all materials suitable
• Essentially for stock
lenses only
Spin-casting
 Developed by Otto Wichterle
 Concave mold- monomer
solution, cross linking agent and initiator
 An open backed mold is spun as a small centrifuge
 Shaping of the lens during spinning
 Mold defines the front surface of the lens
 Rotational velocity, surface tension and gravity combine to
define the back surface.
 Lens obtained in swollen state
Advantages
 Accurate reproducibility
 Precision molds
 Controlled spin speed
 Generates free formed fluid surface
 Consistent, homogenous and thoroughly cross-linked polymer
 Surface and interstitial imperfections are least
Reverse process III
 Combination of Spin cast & Lathe cut
 Spin-casting the front surface and body
 Lathing the back surface
 Eg : Otima 38 , Soft lens 38
Molding/Lathing combination
 Molding the back surface and body of the lens
 Lathing the front surface.
Quality Assurance
Preliminary lens assessment – dry state and wet
state
 BOZR
 BVP
 Optical quality
 Centre thickness
 Edge integrity
 Overall quality
Bifocals
 Lathing
 Molding – single or double-sided or
spin-casting
 Spin-casting or lathing combination
 Molding or lathing combination

  • 7. Molding Advantages • Low cost per lens • Rapid • Volume production easy • Good surface quality • Good reproducibility • Complex designs possible Disadvantages • Expensive to start production • Expense limits parameter range • Not all materials suitable • Essentially for stock lenses only
  • 8. Spin-casting  Developed by Otto Wichterle  Concave mold- monomer solution, cross linking agent and initiator  An open backed mold is spun as a small centrifuge  Shaping of the lens during spinning  Mold defines the front surface of the lens  Rotational velocity, surface tension and gravity combine to define the back surface.  Lens obtained in swollen state

  • 10. Advantages  Accurate reproducibility  Precision molds  Controlled spin speed  Generates free formed fluid surface  Consistent, homogenous and thoroughly cross-linked polymer  Surface and interstitial imperfections are least
  • 11. Reverse process III  Combination of Spin cast & Lathe cut  Spin-casting the front surface and body  Lathing the back surface  Eg : Otima 38 , Soft lens 38
  • 12. Molding/Lathing combination  Molding the back surface and body of the lens  Lathing the front surface.
  • 13. Quality Assurance Preliminary lens assessment – dry state and wet state  BOZR  BVP  Optical quality  Centre thickness  Edge integrity  Overall quality
  • 14. Bifocals  Lathing  Molding – single or double-sided or spin-casting  Spin-casting or lathing combination  Molding or lathing combination
