Special Grindings
For better optical solutions at high powers
Do you want to offer a more elegant solution?
When your customer needs high plus or minus powers, special grinding may be needed to produce the lens.
Optimised optics for a better visual experience
Sometimes a special grinding is also needed to make the optics more optimised and give the customer a better visual experience.
Special grinding also provides thinner and therefore lighter and more aesthetically pleasing solutions with high powers.
Different special grindings
ML Grand
An image magnifier of one to nine percent. To achieve a magnification, the lens is made thicker and more curved compared to a standard lens. Recommended for: Balancing aniseikonia and for AMD patients.
Myosoft
Edge reduction for minus lenses with a soft overlap from optical zone to carrier. The optical zone will be adjusted according to power and frame shape. Recommended for: High minus powers or minus powers in combination with a big or curved frame.
Hypersoft
Thickness reduction for plus lenses with a soft overlap from optical zone to carrier. The optical zone will be adjusted according to power and frame shape. Recommended for: Plus powers approximate +3 to +6 in combination with a big frame.
Myolenti
Edge reduction for minus lenses with a sharp overlap from the optical zone to the convex carrier. The optical zone will be adjusted according to power and frame shape. Recommended for: Minus powers up to -30.
Myolenti Duo
Edge reduction for minus lenses with a sharp overlap from the optical zone to the convex carrier. Optical zones on both the back and front of the lens. Recommended for: Minus powers more than –30.
Combi Cylinder
Optimisation of lenses with a high cylinder. The cylinder power is divided into both sides of the lens. Gives a higher optical quality and better aesthetics. Recommended for: Can increase optical quality in some cases with high cylinder power. A must for cylinder power higher than -15.
Biconvex
A biconvex grinding. Recommended for: This grinding allows for an expanded power range for plus powers, but please note that the optical quality is being reduced.
Slab-off
Prismatic grinding is used to balance anisometropia. Slab-of is applied only to half of the lens. In general, the lower part of the lens with most minus/least plus gets a base-up prism. Recommended for: Balancing anisometropia.
