Abstract

A method for labeling packages containing contact lenses involves applying to a package that contains a contact lens a machine-readable code identifying characteristics of the contact lens in the package, and later applying to the package printed language information generated from the machine readable code. The printed language information can be applied to the package at a site and/or time remote from the packaging and sterilization operations while ensuring product integrity.
