Zero Internal Stress
Manufacturing technology is designed to eliminate internal stress in the lens blank.
Eliminate Birefringence. See Clearer. Live Comfortably.
A new generation of PC lens blanks designed to eliminate internal stress and minimize stress-related birefringence — for optical laboratories that demand more from their material.
See the problem, the Zero Stress solution, technical comparison and target applications at a glance.
Conventional PC lens blanks can develop residual internal stress and molecular-chain orientation during molding. Stress can contribute to birefringence and optical concerns in demanding applications.
Manufacturing technology is designed to eliminate internal stress in the lens blank.
Designed to minimize stress-related birefringence and its potential optical effects.
Designed to reduce ghosting, distortion and visual discomfort in demanding applications.
Particularly relevant where high prescription and astigmatism make optical precision more critical.
Designed for evaluation with polarizing films where stress-related effects can be more noticeable.
Lightweight construction and high impact resistance remain fundamental PC benefits.
Test Zero Stress PC using your existing production process and compare the results with your current PC blanks.
