Method for transferring contact lenses between two consecutive processing stations being operated at different cycle speeds, said method comprising the steps of: - removing said contact lenses from a preceding processing station of said two consecutive processing stations, said contact lenses being advanced in said preceding processing station with a first cycle speed, wherein said preceding processing station is a removal station of a contact lens forming line operated at said first cycle speed, - transporting said removed contact lenses to a subsequent processing station of said two consecutive processing stations, said subsequent processing station comprising a plurality of consecutively arranged receptacles (1 - 10) for receiving said contact lenses, said receptacles (1 - 10) being advanced through said subsequent processing station with a second cycle speed faster than that first cycle speed, wherein said consecutive processing station to which said contact lenses are transferred, is a processing station of a contact lens treatment line operated at said second cycle speed, wherein said step of transporting comprises transporting said contact lenses from said removal station of said contact lens forming line to said processing station of said contact lens treatment line via a transfer means, said transfer means being capable of being moved synchronously with and in the direction of advancement of said receptacles, and - moving said transfer means synchronously with and in the direction of advancement of said receptacles in case an object is transferred into a said receptacle (4, 5; 4, 6) during advancement of said receptacles, wherein said transfer means comprises at least one feed tube (12, 13), each feed tube ending in a respective transfer nozzle (14, 15) which is arranged in the vicinity of a corresponding one of said receptacles and which is aligned with an inlet of said corresponding receptacle (4, 5; 4, 6) for introduction of said contact lens into said corresponding receptacle, said respective transfer nozzle (14, 15) being moved synchronously with and in the direction of advancement of said corresponding receptacle in case said contact lens is transferred into said corresponding receptacle (4, 5; 4, 6) during advancement of said receptacle, wherein said contact lenses are formed in said contact lens forming line in contact lens molds comprising male and female mold halves, said male and female mold halves being arranged opened in said removal station with each formed contact lens resting on one of said male and female mold halves of a respective mold, wherein each of said contact lenses is removed from one of said male and female mold halves, respectively, by lifting it off by applying a fluid, and wherein said contact lens is transported through said feed tube (12, 13) and said transfer nozzle (14, 15) into said receptacle in said processing station of said contact lens treatment line, wherein a said male mold half of a preceding one of said molds and a said female mold half of a subsequent one of said molds are arranged in said removal station at the same time, or vice versa, and wherein said fluid is simultaneously applied to said male and said female mold halves arranged at the same time in said removal station of said contact lens forming line so as to lift off said contact lens from said male mold half and/or said female mold half, respectively, and to transport each of said contact lenses through one feed tube of a pair of said feed tubes (12, 13) to said processing station of said contact lens treatment line, each of said feed tubes of said pair of feed tubes comprising an entry port, with one of said entry ports being aligned with said male mold half and the other one of said entry ports being aligned with said female mold half arranged in said removal station, and with each of said transfer nozzles of said pair of feed tubes being arranged in side by side configuration when viewed in the direction of advancement of said receptacles and aligned with a respective one of said inlets of said receptacles. - removing said contact lenses from a preceding processing station of said two consecutive processing stations, said contact lenses being advanced in said preceding processing station with a first cycle speed, wherein said preceding processing station is a removal station of a contact lens forming line operated at said first cycle speed, - transporting said removed contact lenses to a subsequent processing station of said two consecutive processing stations, said subsequent processing station comprising a plurality of consecutively arranged receptacles (1 - 10) for receiving said contact lenses, said receptacles (1 - 10) being advanced through said subsequent processing station with a second cycle speed faster than that first cycle speed, wherein said consecutive processing station to which said contact lenses are transferred, is a processing station of a contact lens treatment line operated at said second cycle speed, wherein said step of transporting comprises transporting said contact lenses from said removal station of said contact lens forming line to said processing station of said contact lens treatment line via a transfer means, said transfer means being capable of being moved synchronously with and in the direction of advancement of said receptacles, and - moving said transfer means synchronously with and in the direction of advancement of said receptacles in case an object is transferred into a said receptacle (4, 5; 4, 6) during advancement of said receptacles,
