Abstract
An assembly for fluid processing of an array of ophthalmic lenses includes a support having an array of holes in which an array of lens receptacles are removably positioned for fluid processing. A cover is placed over the support and lenses and include a series of grooves forming fluid passages for the entry and exit of fluid as the assembly is submerged and removed from a bath of processing fluid. The assemblies may be stacked upon each other and placed in a frame for processing batches of lenses at a time.
