CENTRAL POINT, Ore.--Visitors to Quantum Innovations’s booth at Vision Expo East can see a demonstration the company’s Big Dipper, a small piece of equipment used to apply Lens Wrap protective coating to lenses immediately after AR coating. With a capacity of 12 lenses per run, a lab can coat over 100 lenses per hour.

Lens Wrap provides superior adhesion for blocks during the edging process, virtually eliminating slippage on lenses coated with super hydrophobic, Quantum reports. It also protects lenses from scratches and chemicals during drilling and other lab processes.

Lens Wrap will increase throughput, saving both time and money, according to Quantum. The product is optically clear; no chemicals are needed for removal, and no special edger pads are required. ■
