Abstract
A method of manufacturing an implantable lens from liquid polymer precursor in an open mold includes metering the liquid into the mold in a measured amount that comes into contact with a functional shaping inner surface of the mold located under a peripheral circular sharp edge of the stationary mold or which reaches up to this peripheral circular sharp edge, at which point the open mold is rotated around it's vertical axis at a speed at which the edge of the surface of the liquid polymer precursor reaches the peripheral circular sharp edge of the open mold, after which the liquid polymer precursor is exposed to conditions under which it transforms itself into a state of a clear solid polymer by polymerization and/or cross-linking, until the transition is attained, and then the implantable intraocular lens is removed from the mold.
