Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a method for making colored contact lenses, in particular to colored silicone hydrogel contact lenses. The present invention is also related to a method of a first high intensity UV curing the colored print on the mold and a second high intensity UV treating mold for making colored silicone hydrogel contact lenses. The present invention illustrates the right combination of the first high intensity UV exposure and the second high intensity UV exposure allows a lens that maintains good ion permeability (IP) value and a good print quality.
