The ODC lens system creates a finished Rx directly from liquid monomer, eliminating the need to cast a semi-finished blank that is later surfaced to the final prescription. This eliminates the costs and slow delivery challenges associated with casting, shipping, and managing inventory for thick semi-finished lens blanks. This process also reduces the variables of surfacing and ensures that consistent, high quality lenses can be produced at a much lower cost. The cast-to-Rx process is computerized and straightforward for the practitioner's existing staff to master. All lens types can be cast and dispensed in clear or Photochromic materials in under an hour, while saving as much as 50% or more on lens costs.
NanoCLEAR AR lenses can be produced in less than one hour, while other offices wait 3 to 14 days for AR lenses from a lab. With ODC increased service increases patient flow, lab wholesale costs are greatly reduced and more patients choose premium lens products. These three factors typically improve practice net income by up to 50% or more.
The simplest form of ophthalmic lenses is referred to as single vision lenses.
The term Premium Lenses refers to: Lenses that have more than one focal distance (multifocals), progressives, digital lenses, freeform designs, progressive addition lenses, computer lenses, aspheric, atorics, melanin, and photochromic lenses.
The traditional lens distribution channel is multi-stepped which makes the cost of premium products much higher than single vision. ODC technology compresses and eliminates thereby capturing significant value in the lens distribution channel.
