A variety of processes for the rapid production of contact lenses

Ocutec technology supports:

• reactive cast moulding
• compression moulding
• injection moulding
• solvent casting

Significant benefits to manufacturers

The Ocutec contact lens patented process provides:

• reduced number of manufacturing stages
• improved cycle times
• increased quality and yield
• eliminates the handling of toxic monomer

resulting in a significant reduction in manufacturing costs and increased margin for sales and new territory development.

Improved on-eye experience for contact lens wearers

Unlike current high performance lenses, Ocutec technology allows the contact lens to be manufactured silicon free reducing the problems of contact lens dryness, deposit formation and binding of pathogenic bacteria, which can often result in discomfort, inflammation and infection for the contact lens wearer.

With high Dk (oxygen permeability) and water retention levels Ocutec technology delivers a better on-eye experience.

Ocutec’s hydrogel materials can be fabricated into devices, nanogels and polymer solutions with applications in ophthalmology as well as cardiology, urology and tissue engineering.

These polymers can add significant value to vision correction products such as intraocular lenses, controlled drug delivery devices (to treat front and back of eye diseases), corneal onlays, contact lenses and wetting drops.
