RAMSEY, Minn.--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 -11.75D.

“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. ■
