NEW YORK--Landon Lens Manufacturing, based here, is introducing CleARZone anti-reflective coated, semi-finished plastic lenses. The 70mm lens is also available in single-vision in 2, 4, 6 and 8 bases, as well as flat-top bifocal and Channel 14 short-corridor progressive designs in 4 and 6 base with +1.00 to +3.00 adds.

“This lens is perfect for anyone who has a generator,” said company president Lenny Landon. “By stocking only four single-vision lenses, you can make an AR-coated lens in the time it takes to surface a lens--20 minutes. Compare this to the time it takes and the cost of shipping a lens to the coater and having it shipped back. Compare this to stocking 400 different finished, AR single-vision lenses, the number you will need to cover all bases, of which half will still be on your shelves five years from now.”

CleARzone lenses feature a 1.499 index of refraction. Front side AR coating is standard. The lenses also have a tintable back side. Landon Lens guarantees them for 18 months. ■
