Method for molding ophthalmic lenses made of plastic material

摘要

A method for molding a plastic ophthalmic lens which comprises introducing a liquid polymerizable composition in a molding cavity of a two-piece mold through a filling nozzle in flow communication with the upper half of the molding cavity and spaced apart from the central vertical axis of the molding cavity up to the time the lower half of the molding cavity is filled. Then, tilting the mold to bring the filling in register with the central axis of the molding cavity and achieving full filling of the molding cavity. Thereafter, polymerizing the composition and recovering the lens.
