A method for preparing an ophthalmic device for slowing, inhibiting or preventing myopia progression involves (a) soaking an ophthalmic device in one or more first solvent solutions to swell the ophthalmic device; (b) soaking the swelled ophthalmic device in one or more second solvents solutions comprising one or more red-light blocking compounds blocking greater than about 5% to about 25% of red-light transmission through the ophthalmic device at a wavelength of from about 550 nanometers (nm) to about 800 nm to de-swell the swelled ophthalmic device and entrap the one or more red-light blocking compounds in the de-swelled ophthalmic device; and (c) sterilizing the de-swelled ophthalmic device.

Ophthalmic devices

An ophthalmic device for slowing, inhibiting or preventing myopia progression which is a polymerization product of a monomeric mixture comprising (a) greater than 50 wt. %, based on the total weight of the monomeric mixture, of one or more non-silicone-containing hydrophilic monomers; (b) one or more crosslinking agents; and (c) one or more red-light blocking compounds blocking greater than 5% to about 25% of red-light transmission through the ophthalmic device at a wavelength of from about 550 nm to about 800 nm, wherein the one or more red-light blocking compounds have one or more ethylenically unsaturated reactive end groups.

A casting mold is provided for forming a biomedical device including an ophthalmic device such as a contact lens. The casting mold includes an anterior mold section and a posterior mold section, wherein one of the mold sections includes a plurality of radially extending ribs and the remaining mold section includes an annular shoulder for engaging an outer end of the ribs to define a mold cavity.

Casting mold for forming a biomedical device including an ophthalmic device

A method is provided of forming a biomedical device in a casting mold which has an anterior mold section and a posterior mold section, wherein one of the mold sections includes a plurality of radially extending ribs and the remaining mold section includes an annular shoulder for engaging an outer end of the ribs to define a mold cavity. The method includes engaging the mold sections along a peripheral seal of the mold cavity and a plurality of circumferentially spaced contact points on a shoulder of one of the mold sections. Cured excess material bonds to the ribs of the one mold section and provides repeatable retention and location of the excess material after formation of the biomedical device.

Contact lenses include a posterior surface including a first identifiable marking, and an anterior surface includes a second identifiable marking different from the first marking, the first and second markings in combination designating the optical correction of the lenses. The lenses are useful in methods where the markings are used to identify characteristics of the lens.
