RAMSEY, MINN. (August 6, 2008) – Providing higher quality for direct-surface progressive lens processing, Vision-Ease Lens (VEL) recently announced the launch of the 1-, 3- and 5-base curves in all semi-finished single vision (SFSV) LifeRx®, Coppertone™ and SunRx® gray and brown 75mm lenses.
In addition to the base curves previously offered, the base curve availability now ranges from 0.50 to 7.50 in one-diopter steps, making them highly compatible with leading direct-surface progressive lens technologies and covering wide prescription ranges from +5.00 to -11.75.
“The extension of our base curve offerings represents Vision-Ease Lens’ commitment to technology and the direct-surface progressive lens processing industry,” said Barry Resnik, director of marketing, VEL. “With the new base curves, LifeRx, Coppertone and SunRx SFSV lenses are well suited for premium quality direct-surface progressive lens processing. This premium quality ultimately provides patients with the most accurate prescriptions.”
The added base curve benefits only add to the already high-quality features of VEL products. LifeRx photochromic lenses have fast darkening speed and industry-leading fade-back time; Coppertone polarized lenses provide more high energy visible (HEV) light protection than ordinary sun lenses; and SunRx polarized lenses eliminate 99 percent of reflected glare.
