 Manufacturing Process:
- Taping
A special surface saver tape is applied on to the
front surface of the lens to prevent it from any damage.
- Blocking
The semi finished lens is then blocked on CNC blockers
using low melting alloys. The CNC blocker reads the Rx data
from the Rx server and automatically induces required prism,
de-centeration and axis in the semi finished lens.
- Generating
Here the semi finished lens is cut to its final curve and thickness
by a diamond tool. This operation is done on a machine called
generator. This is a versatile machine, which can cut the desired
curve on the semi finished lens surface, fast and accurate.
The generator also reads the data from the Rx server.
- Smoothing
Smoothing is removing the grinding marks from the surface of
the semi finished lens without changing its curvature. Here
the lens is brought to the exact curve required and surface
is smoothened not to have any mark or scratches.
- Polishing
This operation is identical to the previous one. The lens is
polished on a felt pad or a special plastic pad by a very fine
polishing chemical mixed with water.
- Quality Control Check
To ensure that lenses do not have any surface defect, have the
right thickness and accurate power; stringent quality check
is done using high-end lensometers by our qualified personnel.
- Hard Coating
In this process, the lens is super cleaned by
ultrasonic, then dipped in lacquer maintained in super clean
environment and at sub zero temperature. The lens is then withdrawn
from this lacquer by robot PC controls and goes through 2 types
of polymerization. 1st stage - 750C for 5 minutes. 2nd stage
- 1150C for 2 hours.
- AR Coating (Anti-Reflection Coating)
The application of an AR coating can virtually eliminate unpleasant
mirroring effects and reflections in the lenses that can impede
vision. The process of AR coating varies from mineral or organic
lenses and also varies as per refractive index of the lenses.
