                       This appeal involves claims to an ophthalmic lens.  Claims 1-26,                         
                which are all the pending claims, are on appeal.  Br. 2.  Claims 1-26 were                      
                rejected under § 112, first paragraph, in the final Office Action, but this                     
                rejection has been withdrawn by the Examiner.  Answer 2.  Claims 1-3, 5, 6,                     
                10, 11, 13, 15, 18, and 20-24 stand rejected over prior art.  Br. 3.  We have                   
                jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 134.
