An optical lens comprising synthetic polymeric materials is disclosed. The optical lens further comprises a plurality of optical zones formed within a predetermined region of a polymeric material (PLM) having a UV absorber, said plurality of optical zones created using a lens formation method that increases the hydrophilicity of only said predetermined region of said PLM. The method comprises, generating a pulsed laser radiation output from a laser source having a wavelength selected to interact with PLM including said UV absorber, within said predetermined region of said PLM; accepting said pulsed laser radiation into a numerical aperture within a microscope objective to produce a focused laser radiation output; transmitting said focused laser radiation output to said predetermined region within said PLM to increase the hydrophilicity of said predetermined region of said PLM; exposing said optical zones to water; and allowing said predetermined region of said PLM to absorb water to form a lens within said predetermined region of said PLM. |
