Fabricating a high refractive index photonic device includes disposing a polymerizable composition on a first surface of a first substrate and contacting the polymerizable composition with a first surface of a second substrate, thereby spreading the polymerizable composition on the first surface of the first substrate. The polymerizable composition is cured to yield a polymeric structure having a first surface in contact with the first surface of the first substrate, a second surface opposite the first surface of the polymeric structure and in contact with the first surface of the second substrate, and a selected residual layer thickness between the first surface of the polymeric structure and the second surface of the polymeric structure in the range of 10 μm to 1 cm. The polymeric structure is separated from the first substrate and the second substrate to yield a monolithic photonic device having a refractive index of at least 1.6.

A method of producing a spectacle lens includes providing a substrate having a front surface and a back surface and coating or covering at least one of the front surface or the back surface of the substrate, in full or in part, with a layer. The surface topography of the substrate surface is changed by bringing the surface into contact with a medium and the medium is removed. A product made according to the method and including (i) a spectacle lens or (ii) a representation of the spectacle lens in the form of computer-readable data present on a data medium or (iii) a data medium including a virtual representation of the spectacle lens in the form of computer-readable data or (iv) a representation of the spectacle lens in the form of a computer-readable data signal, is also disclosed.

Methods for making a microstructured tool having interspersed topographies are disclosed, and the production of articles therefrom. The article has a major surface including first microstructural features and second microstructural features arranged in a pattern visible at least when viewed normal to the first major surface. The first and second microstructural features are different relative to each other, and are selected from the group consisting of cones, diffraction gratings, lenticulars, segments of a sphere, pyramids, cylinders, fresnels, and prisms.
