ABSTRACT


A contact lens is manufactured by a method involving machining a first face and a reference surface on a blank; mounting the blank in a work holder adapted for accurate mounting on a lathe such that the blank is held with its first face accurately positioned relative to a datum point on the lathe; and machining a second face on the blank. Such method avoids the need for skilled operatives and enables easy manufacture of accurately dimensioned contact lenses.
