8, Bleaching and Dyeing; Fluid Treatment and Chemical Modification of Textiles and Fibers,

507, for the process of dyeing a contact lens or product thereof.

351, Optics: Eye Examining, Vision Testing and Correcting, appropriate subclasses for methods of and instruments for fitting contact lenses and for structural features and adaptations for contact lenses, such as coloring a portion of the lens to adsorb part of the visible spectrum;

160+, for eye contact lens.

422, Chemical Apparatus and Process Disinfecting, Deodorizing, Preserving, or Sterilizing, 1, 43 for generic processes of deodorizing, preserving, or sterilizing contact lenses or compositions thereof.

112+, for compositions used for the mere cleaning of contact lenses.

514, Drug, Bio-Affecting and Body Treating Compositions, appropriate subclasses for (1) a contact lens composition which contains a nonbioactive polymer admixed with a medicament or (2) composition with or without a nonbioactive polymer used to sterilize a contact lens composition to reduce or eliminate any eye injury.

523, Synthetic Resins or Natural Rubbers,

106, for a composition containing an inactive solid synthetic polymer intended for manufacturing contact lenses.This subclass also provides for a contact lens composition containing its own preserving agent when it is clearly specified and restricted for that use.
