Abstract

A contact lens has a rear surface, a front surface and a peripheral edge surface extending between the front and rear surfaces. The peripheral edge surface extends generally forwardly and obliquely from the rear surface to the front surface. The invention is more particularly, but not exclusively, applicable to flexible contact lenses, such as contact lenses manufactured of silicone and similar materials, for example.
