Abstract:
A method for cleaning a molding surface ( 51 ) of a reusable lens mold ( 5 ), in particular of a reusable lens mold ( 5 ) for molding ophthalmic lenses such as soft contact lenses, comprising the steps of: generating a jet ( 3 ) of deionized water, exposing the molding surface ( 51 ) of the reusable lens mold ( 5 ) to the jet ( 3 ) of deionized water,   wherein the jet ( 3 ) of deionized water has a circular full cone spray pattern and impinges on the molding surface ( 51 ) of the reusable lens mold ( 5 ), and wherein the circular full cone spray pattern has a uniform distribution of the volume flow of deionized water over the base of the cone of the circular full cone spray pattern.

Claim (Index 1):
Apparatus for cleaning a molding surface ( 51 ) of a reusable lens mold ( 5 ), in particular of a reusable lens mold ( 5 ) for molding ophthalmic lenses such as soft contact lenses, the apparatus comprising:\n at least one full cone nozzle ( 2 ) for generating a jet of deionized water ( 3 ) having a circular full cone spray pattern having a uniform distribution of the volume flow of deionized water over the base of the cone of the circular full cone spray pattern, a positioning device for arranging the reusable lens mold ( 5 ) relative to the full cone nozzle ( 2 ) such that the molding surface ( 51 ) of the reusable lens mold ( 5 ) is exposed to the jet of deionized water ( 3 ).
