ALPHARETTA, Ga.—QSpex Technologies is launching the QSpex Premium Lens System, which allows vision care providers to produce top-quality spectacle lenses “in office” in about 35 minutes. Product availability includes single vision, polarized and advanced digital progressive designs, with a high quality, seven-layer, hydrophobic and oleo phobic AR treatment. Photochromic lenses will also be available soon.

“The QSpex System provides practitioners the ability to deliver premium lens designs with surface treatments to their patients in a time frame not available by any other lens manufacturer or lab, at more attractive profit margins for their practice,” said QSpex CEO Steve Martin.

The system has a small footprint. Operation is easily learned by office personnel. The hands-on time requiring operator attention is about five minutes per pair of lenses. The system utilizes single use, disposable plastic molds, so there is no need to clean the molds after use; they are recycled or discarded. No gaskets are required. Each back mold is supplied with a single use pre-attached lens spacer. All lens treatments have been pre-applied onto the molds by QSpex and transfer during lens curing.
