Abstract

See full text

The instant invention pertains to a method and a fluid composition for producing contact lenses with improved lens quality and with increased product yield. The method of the invention involves adding a Butylated Polyvinylpyrrolidone into a fluid composition including a lens-forming material in an amount sufficient to reduce an averaged mold separation force by at least about 20% in comparison with that without the Butylated Polyvinylpyrrolidone.
