Abstract: A cuvette with at least one side having materials with thermal conductivity of at least 5 W/m-K, such as sapphire, for holding contact lenses or intra-ocular lenses during optical measurements. The cuvette may further include a backstop to ensure consistent measurements and a pedestal to minimize optical measurement variations.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing of an astigmatic contact lens having a toric portion and a thickness differential feature to provide lens orientation on eye portion such that said thickness differential causes the toric portion of the contact lens to properly orient in the eye of the wearer. The toric lenses are manufactured by an effective process control method for cylinder power in toric lens production by determining an amount of a mold cylinder compensation which is caused by processes in a toric lens manufacturing system including tool making, injection molding, casting and curing, wherein the mold cylinder is defined as the difference in measured radius of curvature at two orthogonal directions. A control metric is established by using the amount of a mold cylinder compensation and tolerance range and reject mold out of the control limits and improve the production yield for toric lens manufacturing.

Abstract: The invention is related to a contact lens, especially a SiHy contact lens, which comprises a lens bulk material covered with an outer surface hydrogel layer thereon and has a posterior surface and an opposite anterior surface. The outer surface hydrogel layer consists of an anterior outer hydrogel layer and a posterior outer hydrogel layer. A contact lens of the invention is characterized by having a difference in surface softness between its poterior (BC) and anterior (FC) surfaces.

Abstract: A method for quantitively evaluating contact lens edge lift and distortion. The method includes the steps of scanning an edge of a contact lens, modeling the edge profile, determining a best-fit line over the modeled edge profile, calculating the slope of the best-fit line at a contact lens edge point, and further calculating a slope edge angle (ESA) as a function of the slope, wherein the ESA is a highly effective metric for capturing the contact lens edge-lift relative to the intended shape of the lens. The method may be used to provide design feedback, predict clinical fitting outcomes, and for quality control purposes.
