    Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing an ophthalmic lens is provided. The method involves preparing a cross-polarization cancelling optical film for an optical article comprising providing a film having at least a first section comprising a first edge, a second section comprising a second edge, and a predetermined color intensity; providing an apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises at least a first roller and a second roller, wherein the first roller and the second roller are configured to stretch at least a portion of the film; and continuously and asymmetrically stretching at least a portion of the film using the apparatus, while substantially maintaining the color intensity of the film.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems, devices, and methods for preventing contamination during formation of an optical article. In some implementations, a device for preventing contamination of a mold cavity during injection molding of a function wafer includes a containment band having an annular base that defines a first opening configured to receive a functional wafer. The device also includes one or more sidewalls that project a first direction from and surround at least a portion of the first opening. The one or more sidewalls may be configured such that, during formation of an optical article, a first portion of the functional wafer is in contact with the one or more sidewalls.
