Abstract

In the process described, a limited number of shaping tools (T.sub.1, T.sub.2, . . . , T.sub.N) having standardized parameters (for the production of the following contact lens parameters: contact lens diameter, radius of curvature of the rear face of the contact lens, vertex refraction) is used for the manufacture of standardized moulds (M.sub.1, M.sub.2, . . . , M.sub.N). Preferably by material-removing machining of the moulds, moulds are produced that have additional altered parameters. The multiplicity of moulds produced in that manner is used for the one-step manufacture (F) of contact lenses (L) having different parameters that largely do not have to be finished.
