An apparatus for releasing a molded lens from a deformable mold includes a shear ring for temporarily retaining an annular portion of the deformable mold outside a periphery of the lens and a plunger for deforming an annular section of the deformable mold within the periphery of the lens. The apparatus can be employed to release a non-hydrated hydrogel lens from a deformable mold section.

Method and apparatus for the dry release of a compliant ophthalmic article from mold surface

The present invention provides a fixture for supporting a two optic accommodating intraocular lens device. The fixture is capable of holding the device while taking measurements or performing manufacturing process steps on the device. In a preferred embodiment, the fixture supports the device along the periphery of the posterior optic thereof such that the haptics and anterior optic extend freely therefrom. As such, testing and/or processing of the optics during their accommodative and unaccomodative positions may be taken.

Lens mounting fixture for accommodating IOL

The present invention provides a holder for supporting a two optic accommodating intraocular lens device. The holder is capable of holding the device while taking measurements or performing manufacturing process steps on the device and/or packaging the device. In a preferred embodiment, the holder supports the device along the haptics thereof such that the optics remain untouched and unobstructed by the holder. As such, testing and/or processing of the optics during their accommodative and unaccomodative positions may be taken, and the device may be safely packaged and shipped with the holder.
