  Collaborations for reduced costs

Ocutec have an enviable team of renowned world class contact lens researchers and production specialists all highly experienced and knowledgeable within the challenging environment of contact lens development and production.

Our patented technology allows us to help our partners introduce highly efficient methods for producing high quality low cost contact lenses. With the market growing from its current base of 85 million wearers the need for improved process and reduced cost is apparent.
  
  Streamlining the production process for contact lens manufacture

By utilising Ocutec’s platform technology for contact lenses four manufacturing processes are possible for your contact lens manufacturing business:

  • Reaction cast moulding
  • Compression moulding
  • Injection moulding
  • Solvent-based casting

The Ocutec polymers can be made to be thermoplastic and as such can be shaped under heat and pressure using either compression or injection moulding. These manufacturing techniques are commonly used in other industries such as medical & packaging to produce high quality products in large volumes at very low costs. Ocutec believe their technology will revolutionise the contact lens industry allowing lenses to be made at a fundamentally lower cost than is available today. Independent research has indicated that this cost will not be greater than 5 cents per lens.
