A method for preventing counterfeiting of a lens package comprising the steps of: providing a first lens package comprising: a bulb having a rim and comprising a volume; a generally thin cover placed over said bulb, said cover being generally flat; a contact lens contained in solution in said bulb; wherein said cover is sealed to said bulb at said rim, and said cover formed from a generally flexible material, such that when said cover is sealed to said bulb, a dimple is formed in said cover, said dimple having a concavity defining a sag depth, such that the concavity displaces volume from the volume of the bulb; and applying a first emboss to the dimple of the first lens package; after a predetermined period of time, changing the emboss to a second emboss, and providing a second lens package comprising: a bulb having a rim and comprising a volume; a generally thin cover placed over said bulb, said cover being generally flat; a current contact lens contained in solution in said bulb; wherein said cover is sealed to said bulb at said rim, and said cover formed from a generally flexible material, such that when said cover is sealed to said bulb, a dimple is formed in said cover, said dimple having a concavity defining a sag depth, such that the concavity displaces volume from the volume of the bulb; applying a second emboss to the dimple of the second lens package; and making available to distributors a list of the then-current embosses such that the second emboss serves as a verification code for the current lens when compared to the embosses on the list. providing a first lens package comprising: a bulb having a rim and comprising a volume; a generally thin cover placed over said bulb, said cover being generally flat; a contact lens contained in solution in said bulb; a bulb having a rim and comprising a volume; a generally thin cover placed over said bulb, said cover being generally flat; a contact lens contained in solution in said bulb; wherein said cover is sealed to said bulb at said rim, and said cover formed from a generally flexible material, such that when said cover is sealed to said bulb, a dimple is formed in said cover, said dimple having a concavity defining a sag depth, such that the concavity displaces volume from the volume of the bulb; and applying a first emboss to the dimple of the first lens package; after a predetermined period of time, changing the emboss to a second emboss, and providing a second lens package comprising: a bulb having a rim and comprising a volume; a generally thin cover placed over said bulb, said cover being generally flat; a current contact lens contained in solution in said bulb; a bulb having a rim and comprising a volume; a generally thin cover placed over said bulb, said cover being generally flat; a current contact lens contained in solution in said bulb; wherein said cover is sealed to said bulb at said rim, and said cover formed from a generally flexible material, such that when said cover is sealed to said bulb, a dimple is formed in said cover, said dimple having a concavity defining a sag depth, such that the concavity displaces volume from the volume of the bulb; applying a second emboss to the dimple of the second lens package; and making available to distributors a list of the then-current embosses such that the second emboss serves as a verification code for the current lens when compared to the embosses on the list.
