<p>The invention provides an improved process for manufacturing hydrophobic silicone-hydrogel contact lenses. The improvement includes use of a hot water in the step of dislodging (or removing or de-blocking) from a mold after lens being cured and before lens extraction. Hot water can be used efficiently to dislodge a hydrophobic silicone-hydrogel lens from its adhering mold half and to substantially reduce the stickiness (or tackiness) of the surfaces of the hydrophobic silicone-hydrogel lens.</p>
