Abstract
Provided are a method with which a spectacle lens molding mold having a minute recess can be made with high accuracy, and the like. A method for producing a molding mold 12 for molding a spectacle lens 1 in which a minute protrusion 6 is formed on at least one surface thereof includes a first molding mold preparation step of preparing a first mold 14 that includes a base material 26 and a coating portion 28, the coating portion being made of a nickel alloy, coating the base material, and having a surface formed into a shape corresponding to the shape of one surface of the spectacle lens; and a cutting step of cutting a recess 28A corresponding to the protrusion into the surface of the coating portion of the first mold.
Claims6
A method of producing a spectacle lens, the method comprising:
- defining a lens molding space by holding a first mold and a second mold spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, the first mold that includes a base material and a coating portion, the coating portion being made of a nickel alloy, coating the base material, and having a surface formed into a shape corresponding to a shape of one surface of the spectacle lens, the first mold having a recess corresponding to a minute protrusion into a surface of the coating portion of the first mold, the minute protrusion having a height being 0.1 to 10 μm, the second mold having a surface formed into a shape corresponding to a shape of another surface of the spectacle lens, the first mold being held at a lower position with respect to the second mold such that the recess is upwardly oriented;
- loading a resin into the space between the first mold and the second mold;
- and
- removing a spectacle lens composed of the cured resin from the first mold and the second mold;
- wherein a surface of the minute protrusion has a substantially hemispherical shape.
