Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems, devices, and methods for preventing contamination during formation of an optical article. In some implementations, a device for preventing contamination of a mold cavity during injection molding of a function wafer includes a containment band having an annular base that defines a first opening configured to receive a functional wafer. The device also includes one or more sidewalls that project a first direction from and surround at least a portion of the first opening. The one or more sidewalls may be configured such that, during formation of an optical article, a first portion of the functional wafer is in contact with the one or more sidewalls.
