Anti-Reflection and Nanomaterials
•
An anti-reflective coating is achieved
by depositing thin films of alternating
refractive indexes
• By engineering the refractive indexes
and thicknesses of these films,
visible reflections are reduced and
transmission is improved
• Nano-scale additives must be used to
avoid transmission losses and
scattering that occur with larger
particles
Nanomaterial benefits:
• Increased ability to engineer
refractive index
•
Improved mechanical performance

LENS PRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
1. Job Entry / Ticket
Job Entry
The first step in the lens making
process is job entry. An Rx is
received from the lab computer and
a work ticket is created by the
system. This ticket links each job to
the database.
Mold Picking
2. Mold Picking
The molds and gaskets are picked
when a ticketed job tray is received
from the job entry area. The job trays
have six storage locations
two for gaskets
two for front molds
two for back molds
The tray layout helps assure that the
molds are assembled correctly.

OVERVIEW
3. Cleaning & Coating
Cleaning & Coating
The M/R III coating system is used
to apply coatings to the molds.
Molds are cleaned with a high
pressure D.I. cleaning solution
before the coating is applied.
A hard coat is applied and cured on
the mold. Coated molds are then
ready for assembly.
Cavity Assembly
4. Cavity Assembly
Molds and gaskets are assembled
to form lens cavities.
Different combinations of molds
and gaskets are used to create
different prescriptions.
Assembled cavities are placed back
into the job trays and are now ready
for filling

LENS PRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
5. Filling
Filling
Proprietary Q-2100 lens materials
are available in both clear and
photochromic formulations. Heated
monomer is dispensed into the fill
port of the gasket. Clear and
photochromic jobs are distinguished
by the use of color-coded job trays.
Curing
6. Curing
The Q-2100HV lens curing system
transforms the monomer from a liquid
to solid. The Q-2100HV performs
initialization, curing, and annealing.
Job trays move through the Q2100HV on a conveyor system.
