Zusammenfassung:A method of manufacturing a mould for producing a customized optical surface, whereby a mould ( 1, 2 ) having a base shape is modified in order to obtain the required shape of the mould. The modificaiton is carried out by means of a lithographic process comprising coating the mould surface with a photoresist layer ( 16 ), exposing the layer to a predetermined pattern of exposure radiation ( 9 ) and developing the exposed layer whereby portions of the layer are removed to obtain the required mould shape ( 22 ). This method may be used for producing small quantities of optical surfaces, such as for individual contact lenses.
