Manufacturing process of an accommodating soft contact lens

A method of manufacturing an accommodating contact lens, the method comprising:

• providing an accommodating contact lens module;
• and
• encapsulating the accommodating contact lens module in a soft contact lens material,
• wherein an optically transmissive coupling fluid has been placed in the accommodating contact lens module prior to encapsulating the module,
• wherein the mold comprises a shape to form an optical correction zone for a subject on corresponding anterior and posterior surfaces of the accommodating contact lens, and
• wherein the accommodating contact lens module and the optically transmissive fluid placed therein comprise an index of refraction similar to an index of refraction of the soft contact lens material in order to transmit light refracted by the anterior and posterior surfaces of the optical correction zone through at least a portion of the module and inhibit optical artifacts,
• wherein the accommodating contact lens module comprises an optical chamber, a support structure, one or more eyelid engaging chambers, and one or more extensions comprising a fluidic channel extending between the optical chamber and the one or more eyelid engaging chambers, and
• wherein the optical chamber comprises an anterior membrane having an anterior thickness and a posterior membrane having a posterior thickness, the posterior thickness greater than the anterior thickness,
• wherein the accommodating contact lens module contains an amount of fluid within a range from 0.15 to 2.5 microliters and the central optical chamber provides 2 Diopters of add power with an amount of fluid within a range from 0.07 to 0.30 microliters in response to eyelid pressure to the one or more eyelid engaging chambers.
