A system for detecting defects in a contact lens material comprising: a camera having a lens and a digital image output for inspecting said lens suspended in saline solution, wherein said camera's digital image output includes only the image produced by light in a color spectrum corresponding to a portion of the spectrum of light produced by fluorescent emission of said lens material; a first Ultra violet light source to illuminate said lens and excite fluorescent emission therein; a first filter to filter the emitted light from the lens which is illuminated by Ultra violet light; and a computer having an associated memory, an input for accepting the digital image output from said camera, and an output representative of an analyzed digital image wherein said analyzed digital image includes visible indications of any imperfections detected in said lens material.

Contact lens defect inspection using UV illumination

A system for producing a high contrast image of an ophthalmic lens under inspection, comprising: top camera to view ophthalmic lens through lens module; motorized mechanism for positioning top camera at two pre-programmed positions; three illumination modules; said illumination modules focusing light through ophthalmic lens under inspection, thereby producing a high contrast image of features of ophthalmic lens; wherein ophthalmic lens is contained within cuvette with optical power of positive of ten; said cuvette mounted with two optical windows, one of them being vertical and other at an angle; said cuvette having transparent bottom glass suitably designed to position ophthalmic lens under inspection; said cuvette designed to be filled with saline solution; accurately calibrated test object positioned to achieve image of ophthalmic lens overlaid with image of pattern present on test object; additional illumination source comprising laser diode; and second camera to view ophthalmic lens through slanted optical lens module.

System and method for inspecting optical power and thickness of ophthalmic lenses immersed in a solution

The present invention relates to an inspection system and more particularly to a system and method for inspection of wet ophthalmic lens, preferably in an automated lens manufacturing line. The inspection system provides for capturing multiple images of an ophthalmic lens using multiple cameras, each with a customized optical unit which may use wavelength filters, and the ophthalmic lens illuminated by multiple lighting modules each configured for a different wavelength, or a different polarization and triggered to strobe the illumination at the same instance or at different instances in the time domain. Suitable filters used in the optical module for each camera ensures appropriate images at different illuminating wavelength, especially when all the illuminations are strobed at the same time. Images captured and inspected by this configuration aids in improvement in method of inspection with enhanced degree of reliability and quality.

System and method for inspection of wet ophthalmic lens

An inspection system to inspect the consistency and thermal seal quality of blister packages, the system comprising an illumination module and a color imaging device suitably integrated with an optical module. The blister packages that are thermally sealed are sequentially presented to the color imaging device within its Field of View whereupon the inspection captures multiple images of the illuminated top side of the sealed blister package using the said image pickup devise. The images then undergo analysis to determine the gray scale values of the sealing area. By comparing the gray level values with predetermined gray level values that are programmed at setup, a decision is made to reject the inspected item if the analyzed gray level values is not substantially the same as the predetermined gray level values, or to accept the inspected item if the analyzed gray level values is substantially the same as the predetermined gray level values or rejecting the blister if determined otherwise.

Inspection of sealing quality in blister packages

An inspection system and method to inspect for defects in molding, contamination, scratches, damage and any form of deformation in intraocular lens comprising three main building blocks; a Top illumination light head that includes a Top lens light head and a Top flat light head; a Dark field illumination light head, a Bright field illumination light head; a Single spot illumination light head; a image acquisition and processing system which captures images of the lens loaded in trays; analyzing the image to detect the various defects; making a conclusion to reject or accept the lens, based on the analyzed image.
