Abstract
A method of forming an optical article includes the step of applying a silicone composition to a surface, wherein the silicone composition is a solid and has a glass transition temperature greater than room temperature. The silicone composition is heated to a temperature at or above the glass transition temperature such that the silicone composition flows. The silicone composition forms a light transmitting sheet upon cooling following the heating.
