Crafting Prescription Glasses: A Step-by-Step Journey

1. Frame Selection & Lens Retrieval

When your order lands in our lab, we handpick the perfect frame and pair it with semi-finished lenses from our vast stock.

2. Prescription Input & Tracing

Next, your prescription details are carefully entered into our computer system, guiding the tracing machine to outline the frame’s lens pocket accurately.

3. Lens Blocking & Prescription Generation

We securely attach small tools to the lenses, ensuring they stay in place during the shaping process without any damage. Your prescription is then meticulously applied to the lenses, akin to rough sanding wood, starting with opaque surfaces and refining them gradually.

4. Fining & Polishing

Through multiple polishing stages, we transform rough lenses into smooth, clear surfaces, resembling the art of refining wood with finer and finer sandpapers.

5. LENS Inspection

After polishing, lenses undergo rigorous inspection before receiving specialized coatings in-house or through external partners.

6. Edging

Next, the lenses are edged. Our precision CNC edging machines sculpt lenses to fit your frame flawlessly, considering both frame dimensions and optical requirements.
