ABSTRACT:
An apparatus that abrades the edges of contact lenses. The device has a cone-shaped body portion which has an axis of rotation that coincides with the axis of symmetry of a cone. The body portion is fixedly secured to a spindle member that is engaged by a machine and rotated at high speeds. Annular grooves of differing widths and with differing radii of curvature are formed in the body portion; a polishing compound is deposited into the bottom of a groove to be used and a lens edge is introduced into the groove while the spindle and hence the body portion of the device are rotating. The angle of taper of a particular device corresponds to the dioptric power of the lens to be abraded by it. Accordingly, a cone-shaped member intended to abrade the edges of a lens of high dioptric power will have a higher degree of taper than another device intended to abrade the edges of a lens of low dioptric power.
