Patent ID: 7543936

Claim:
A method of manufacturing hybrid contact lenses, comprising: forming a first hybrid contact lens comprising a first substantially rigid zone having a first base curve and a first substantially flexible portion coupled to the first substantially rigid zone, the first substantially flexible portion having a first radius of curvature defining a curvature different than said first base curve; and forming a second hybrid contact lens comprising a second substantially rigid zone having a second base curve and a second substantially flexible portion coupled to the second substantially rigid zone, the second substantially flexible portion having a second radius of curvature defining a curvature different than said second base curve, wherein (a) the first base curve and the second base curve of the first and second substantially rigid zones of the respective first and second hybrid contact lenses are substantially the same and (b) the first and second radii of curvature of said respective first and second hybrid contact lens flexible portions are different, the first radius of curvature being longer than a first base curve radius that defines the first base curve.
