Abstract

A method for manufacturing colored lens comprises the following steps of compounding a colorant having pigment, resin, diluents, and hydrophilic reactive monomer for contact lenses in advance; transferring a pattern having the colorant to a convex plastic mold, wherein the colorant on the convex plastic mold does not need to be dried with specific physical or chemical processes; injecting a fluidic lens material into the a concave plastic mold; pressing the convex plastic mold having the pattern and the concave plastic mold having the lens material with each other; and baking the pressed fluidic lens material with hot air to solidify it, thereby forming the colored lens having a completed colored pattern. In addition, the invention provides manufacturing equipment for colored lens. With the feature of the colorant of the invention, the process time can be shortened to save the step of using hot air or ultraviolet to bake or irradiate the convex plastic mold with the transferred pattern. The device, such as the hot air chamber or the ultraviolet lamp, can be removed to reduce the cost of the manufacturing equipment.
