METHOD OF DIP-COATING A SEGMENTED MULTIFOCAL LENS.

摘要

The invention relates to a method of dip-coating a segmented multifocal lens (1 ) having a segment with a curved portion and a straight line portion, the method comprising the steps of: - placing the lens (1 ) on a basket support (21 ); - immersing the lens (1 ) vertically in a coating solution bath (16); and - withdrawing the lens (1 ) vertically from said bath (16); wherein the step of placing the lens (1 ) is performed such that the straight line portion of the lens (1 ) is in a vertical plane; and wherein, before or during said step of immersing the lens (1 ), said lens (1 ) is inclined to an inclined position between a vertical position and a horizontal position of the lens (1 ), in which inclined position said segment is downwardly inclined and said straight line portion of said segment remains in said vertical plane.
