How contact lenses are made (Video)

Last updated November 8, 2007

This video shows how a contact lens is made … from lathe, to polisher, to sterilization. The process is more involved than you might think, though disposable lenses must be more automated then what’s seen here. Interesting how topography is used to check the surface of the lens.
