Breakthrough in Digital Lens Accuracy

Another first for the Canadian independent optical laboratory Plastic Plus Thanks to a substantial investment in an already state-of-the-art lab, Plastic Plus recently announced the successful integration of a new four-station control system from A&R Optical Machinery. This important addition not only allows the lab to automatically measure, map and verify all digital lenses during manufacturing, it increases the speed of processing while virtually eliminating the margin for human error. It is also expected that it will significantly reduce the need for re-dos, additional work for the practitioner, and unnecessary delays for the patient.   Nine years ago, Plastic Plus was the first company to introduce free-form, back-surface digital lenses to North America, Today, Plastic Plus is the first company to introduce this type of integrated control system.   "We are excited to have the opportunity to work with the team at Plastic Plus who have now added the ground-breaking, automated free-form control system, the A&R AutoMapper. They have always been at the forefront of lens processing technology and this is another indication of the dedication to quality that Plastic Plus has to delivering the finest lenses to eyecare professionals throughout Canada," said A&R Optical Machinery President John T. Fried.
