Our Laboratory

We prepare our lenses using the same processes, technology and suppliers as those employed by high street opticians.

"Our only compromise is on price, NOT quality"

All orders are handled individually by experienced and skilled technicians at a laboratory with over 25 years experience of supplying high quality prescription glasses to opticians.From receipt of your prescription, through every stage of the production process to despatch of your finished glasses, our laboratories use the latest computer technology to check the accuracy and quality of our work. That means you can feel secure in the knowledge that what you order is what you will get.

Entered details are checked against the details on the computer system	The computer checks for super accurate alignment	Robotic arm prepares the lens to be blocked
The lens is then probed for precise center thickness, edge thickness & base curve	The lens is then generated from the data input in an air-tight, clean and safe environment	The newly generated lens is then prepared by the smoothing machine
The smoothing machine then polishes the lenses to give a crystal clear, perfect finish	Another technician uses state of the art equipment to position the lenses in exactly the right position for cutting	A blocking pad is then attached to the lens in preparation for the cutting robot
The technician then loads the job into the lens shaping production line.	The robot automatically edges the lenses to ensure an exact fit into the frames specified	We take great pride in every single pair of glasses that we produce.
