Claim:
A functional laminate disposed on an injection molded eye lens formed in a mold comprising: a first resinous layer; a second resinous layer; a polymeric functional layer disposed between said first and second resinous layer; said first resinous layer having an outer side serving as a front surface of said injection molded eye lens; said second resinous layer being integral with a molded layer of said injection molded eye lens such that any thickness variation in said laminate is compensated by said molded layer; an adhesive adhering said polymeric functional layer to both said first and second resinous layer; and said adhesive formulated to have sufficient flexibility so as to substantially prevent crazing during injection molding of said lens; said functional laminate having a center thickness in the range of about 0.2 mm to about 2 mm on said injection molded lens; said functional laminate having a generally rounded shape and having cut edges such that said functional laminate has an outer dimension that snugly conforms to an outer dimension of said injection molded eye lens according to the formation of said outer dimension of said injection molded eye lens in said mold; and, said outer side of said first resinous layer being substantially free of optical and cosmetic defects as a result of said cut edges snugly conforming to said outer dimension of said injection molded eye lens during injection molding thereof.
