Device for manufacturing of square edge memory lens

A method of cutting a square edge on a lens having a first surface, an opposite second surface, and an outward peripheral edge, the method comprising the steps of:

• a. attaching a first member, having a first end and an opposite second end, the second end being shaped complimentary to a surface of the lens, to a mandrill of a drill;
• b. mounting the first surface of the lens on the second end of the first member;
• c. placing a second member against the second surface of the lens, the second member having a third end and an opposite fourth end, the third end being shaped complimentary to the second surface of the lens, the second member being magnetically attractive to the first member so as to hold the lens there between;
• d. rotating the mandrill of the drill;
• and
• e. applying a cutting tool to the outward peripheral edge of the lens so as to cut a substantially flat surface on the outward peripheral edge of the lens.
