Abstract

A contact-lens blank (15) is held in such a way that it cannot rotate about its axis (Y). A cutting tool (27) driven so as to rotate about a rotational axis (X) is used for the machining. During the machining, the rotational axis (X) of the cutting tool (27) and the axis (Y) of the blank (15) are pivoted with regard to one another about a pivot axis (Z) at right angles to both the rotational axis (X) and the axis (Y). So that the entire supporting face of the blank (15) can be machined in one operation, the rotational axis (X) of the cutting tool (27) is pivoted in both directions from a position at right angles to the axis (Y) of the blank (15). <IMAGE>
