Polycarbonate High Impact Resistant Lens Blanks

What Semi Finished Lens Blanks Can do?

Spectacle lenses production units that transform semi-finished lenses into finished lenses according the precise characteristics of a prescription. The customization work of laboratories enables us to provide a wide variation of optical combinations for wearer needs, especially as regards the correction of presbyopia. Laboratories are responsible for surfacing (grinding and polishing) and coating (coloring, anti-scratch, anti-reflective, anti-smudge etc.) the lenses.

Why Polycarbonate Lenses?

Thinner and lighter than plastic, polycarbonate (impact-resistant) lenses are shatter-proof and provide 100% UV protection, making them the optimal choice for kids and active adults. They're also ideal for strong prescriptions since they do not add thickness when correcting vision, minimizing any distortion.

What is a freeform lens?

A freeform lens normally has a spherical front surface and a complex, three-dimensional back surface which incorporates the patient’s prescription. In the case of a freeform progressive lens, the back surface geometry includes the progressive design. The freeform process utilises semi-finished spherical lenses which are readily available in a wide range of base curves and indices. These lenses are accurately machined on the back side using state-of-the-art generating and polishing equipment to create the exact prescription surface. • the front surface is a simple spherical surface • the back surface is a complex three-dimensional surface

Technology for freeform lenses

• Provides the flexibility to offer a wider range of high level products, even for the smaller optical laboratory • Only requires a stock of semi-finished spheres in each material from any quality source • Lab management is simplified with significantly fewer SKUs • Progressive surface is closer to the eye - providing broader fields of view in the corridor and reading area • Accurately reproduces the intended progressive design • Prescription accuracy is not limited by the tooling steps available in the laboratory • Accurate prescription alignment is guaranteed
