Contact lens manufacturing technology

Abstract

Currently, the following technologies are used in the production of contact lenses: lathe cut, polymerization in the form (cast molding) and centrifugal molding (spin cast). The last two technologies, due to the low cost of production, have been established in the mass production of soft contact lenses with standard parameters.

Methods of production of contact lenses are constantly being improved to obtain products that better meet the requirements of patients in terms of safety, comfort and customization.

The main methods of production of contact lenses are already localized in Russia and remain available to domestic consumers in conditions of geopolitical instability.
