Ophthalmic lens molds made from one or more thermoplastic polymer having a low level of UV light transmittance (UV % T) ophthalmic lenses including silicone hydrogel contact lenses molded using these thermoplastic polymer having low UV % T, and methods of manufacturing ophthalmic lenses by cast molding a polymerizable composition in mold members formed of these thermoplastic polymers having low UV % T and curing the polymerizable composition using UV light are described.

Ophthalmic lens molds with low levels of UV light transmittance, ophthalmic lenses molded therein, and related methods

Methods of manufacturing contact lenses using ophthalmic lens molds having a molding surface comprising a thermoplastic polymer, the molding surface having a percent polarity from 3% to 20% and a surface energy from about 25 mN/m to about 40 mN/m to cast mold a polymerizable composition having a surface tension from about 20 mN/m to about 25 mN/m, wherein a surface energy differential of the surface tension of the polymerizable composition less the surface energy of the molding surface less than or equal to zero (0); and silicone hydrogel contact lens bodies so manufactured are described.

Ophthalmic lens molds, ophthalmic lenses molded therein, and related methods

Ophthalmic lens molds made from one or more thermoplastic polymers with average polarities from about 1% to about 7%, ophthalmic lenses including silicone hydrogel contact lenses molded using these less polar thermoplastic polymers, and related methods are described. When the molds are used to cast mold silicone hydrogel contact lenses, the resulting polymerized lens bodies have ophthalmically acceptably wettable surfaces.
