Abstract
A method of producing a blank for the primary member of a glass mould in which an organic polymer, multifocal, ophthalmic lens is cast. A glass major element is formed that has a raised countersink zone on one surface, the remainder of the glass major element being thinner than the countersink zone, but of such thickness that it can form the far vision surface of a mould. A countersink is formed in the countersink zone and a segment element is formed and fused in the countersink. This forms a lens mould assembly which, when ground and polished to the predetermined far vision curvature and countersink size, produces a mould in which an organic lens may be cast.
