Patent ID: 8002925

Claim:
Process for applying a layered structure on a convex surface of a lens, comprising the following steps: /a/ providing the layered structure with a planar shape; /b/ thermoforming the layered structure so that it becomes curved with a first surface being concave and a second surface being convex; /c/ inverting the curvature of the layered structure so that said first surface turns convex and said second surface turns concave; /d/ bringing the first surface of the layered structure in contact with the lens surface at an initial contact point; and /e/ starting from the initial contact point, applying the first surface of the layered structure against the lens surface via pressure applied on the second surface of the layered structure, the first and second surfaces of the layered structure turning back to concave shape and convex shape, respectively, at a peripheral border of an increasing contact zone.
