Systems for transferring at least one coating from a carrier to a surface of an optical article which comprise: an optical article to be coated; a flexible carrier bearing at least one coating to be transferred; an inflatable membrane; and a deformable part that is able to match the geometry of a surface of the optical article when a pressure is exerted on the optical article through inflation of the inflatable membrane. Also described are methods and processes of using such systems; carriers for use in such systems, methods, and processes; and optical articles made using such systems, methods, and processes. |
