<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing and treating a contact lens, and to provide a method for reprocessing a fluid used for the treatment. <P>SOLUTION: The present contact lens treating systems and methods effectively remove extractable materials from contact lenses, for example, newly formed contact lenses, so that the lenses can be worn safely and conveniently, for example, for extended periods of time. Such treatment methods and the present extraction medium reprocessing methods allow lens treatment, while reducing extraction medium losses. The present methods can also be useful for manufacturing heat-stabilized contact lenses, for example, hydrated contact lens including a Vitamin E component which is insoluble in the lens in a hydrated state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
