Three unique value added lens materials
The OptiCast System allows you to cast unique value added lenses using any of three
unique proprietary monomers. All three monomers produce lenses that are approximately
20% thinner, lighter and more impact resistant than standard CR-39 lenses.
OP-85 our NEW 1.534 index clear monomer allows you to cast super impact resistant
lenses that will enhance your competitive advantage. Now you can offer all your patients
a safer alternative to conventional lenses and command a premium price.
OP-85 super impact resistant lenses exceeds ANST Z87.1 safety standards. Until now
only polycarbonate and Trivex were able to meet the Z87.1 standard. OP-85 lenses
surpass the standard at an average of 1.52 mm center thicknesses. This is significant
since Z87.1 standards are based on lenses with 2.0 mm minimum centers.
Additionally OP-85 lenses are the most abrasion resistant uncoated lenses available.
Uncoated OP-85 lenses have a Bayer rating of 2.23 which is better than the average
scratch coated lens available! And OP-85 lenses with an abbe value of 43.3 provide
superior optical performance compared to polycarbonate lenses with their 29.0 abbe
value.
OptiCast, Inc. has developed a process in which photochromic dye is mixed directly
into the monomer in its liquid state. We call the photochromic lenses produced with
this monomer Shades™. Shades photochromic lenses are cast with the same precision
quality as our clear lenses, at significantly lower cost than other photochromic
lenses.
Shades photochromic lenses block 99% of harmful UV when fully activated providing
optimum safety.
Shades photochromic lenses can be cast in standard Gray and Brown as well as six
unique fashion colors: Sky Blue, Golden, Tangerine, Pink, Lavender and Turquoise.
Original 4B clear 1.53 index monomer allows you to cast value added thinner, lighter
lens replacements for CR-39 lenses. Lenses cast with this unique monomer have excellent
tinting properties.
