Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing embedded contact lenses involving steps of use of a set of 3 mold halves in two-curing steps. One of the 3 mold halves have been used twice, the first time for molding an insert and the second time for molding the embedded hydrogel contact lens. The twice-used mold half has been treated with a corona plasma or a vacuum UV in a central circular area of its molding surface having a diameter equal to or smaller than the diameter of the insert to ensure that the molded insert consistently adhered to the twice-used mold half. The method also comprises a step of forming a reactive polysiloxane coating that is covalently attached onto the back or front surface of a molded insert adhered on the twice-used mold half before molding the embedded contact lens in the 2nd curing step.

Abstract: Described herein is a cost-effective and time-efficient method for producing photochromic contact lenses, in particular, preferably photochromic silicone hydrogel contact lenses, from a polymerizable composition comprising an unique selection and combination of main polymerizable components, a photochromic compound and a visible-light photoinitiator, based on the Lightstream Technology™. This invention also provides photochromic contact lenses or more preferably photochromic silicone hydrogel contact lenses made according to a method of the invention. A photochromic contact lens of the invention is capable of undergoing a reversible color change upon exposure to UV-irradiation or high-energy-violet light (HEVL) (with wavelengths from 380 nm to 440 nm).

Abstract: The invention provides a method for making silicone hydrogel contact lenses in a relatively efficient and consistent manner from a lens formulation (i.e., a polymerizable composition) including a thermal initiator having a 10-hour half-life temperature (T10hλ) under a controlled thermal curing scheme. A method of the invention comprises a step of curing the lens formulation in an oven according to a thermal curing profile that comprises or consists essentially of increasing the oven's temperature from room temperature or a temperature that is at least about 5° C. lower than T10hλ to a temperature that is at least 30° C. higher than T10hλ at a selected rate (e.g., from about 1° C./minute to about 10° C./minute). Under such a controlled thermal curing scheme, the lens diameter of the fully-hydrated silicone hydrogel contact lenses obtained according to a method of the invention does not vary significantly with the positions of the molds in the oven.

Abstract: The invention is related to a class of hydrophilic copolymers comprising loosely dangling thiol-containing pendant groups. The hydrophilic copolymers are highly reactive towards azetidinium groups of an azetidinium-containing polymer upon heating and can find particular use in for producing water-soluble highly-branched hydrophilic polymeric material useful for producing water gradient contact lenses.
