Colored contact lens based on amorphous images

A method of manufacturing a colored contact lens comprising the steps of:

• a) inking, with a color ink, at least one cliché having a transfigured amorphous patterns to be printed on a contact lens to form an inked image in the cliché;
• b) transferring the inked image from the cliché to at least one surface of at least one contact lens forming mold by means of at least one transfer pad,
• (c) at least partially curing the inked image transferred on the mold surface to form a colored film;
• (d) dispensing a hydrogel lens-forming material into at least one lens-forming cavity of the mold;
• and
• (e) curing the lens-forming material within the lens-forming cavity to form the contact lens, whereby the colored film detaches from the molding surface and becomes integral with the body of the contact lens,
• wherein the transfigured amorphous simulated iris pattern is made by the method comprising the steps of:
• opening or scanning an image file in a photo editing software application, said image file containing an base amorphous image having at least two colors, wherein the amorphous image is totally unrelated to any eye structure;
• distorting the amorphous base image with one or more filters to change the shape of contents of the amorphous base image,
• reducing the opacity of the distorted image to create a translucent image;
• modifying the size of the translucent image to create a sized image;
• and
• cutting out lens shape from the sized image to simulate iris shap, the lens shape being defined by a substantially circular outer diameter having a smaller substantially inner circle removed therefrom.
