Abstract

In a process for the production of contact lenses, polymerisable contact-lens material is dispensed into one mould half (1) and subsequently the mould is closed by mean of the second mould half (2). The material located in the mould cavity (12) between the two mould halves is subsequently polymerised and thus a still unhydrated contact lens (CL) is formed. The moulding surface of one of the two mould halves (1,2) is pretreated before its use in a region (20) outside the optically effective zone of the contact lens (CL) in such a way that the contact lens (CL) adheres to the pretreated mould half when the mould is opened. <IMAGE>
