360º Digital Surfacing


The advantages of 360º Digital Surfacing

 

Digital surfacing is a process used to apply the design on lenses. As it is more precise than traditional surfacing, it allows the manufacturing of highly complex surfaces and provides wearers with a better quality of vision.

To apply the revolutionary designs created by its research team, Essilor has developed a specific process known as 360º Digital Surfacing, along with patented production tools:

 
- a digitally controlled diamond point that applies the design with a precision of 1/10 microns
- a soft, unique and patented polishing tool that perfectly polishes the complex surface, maintaining the design’s integrity
- an exclusive verification process that insures perfect results for each lens manufactured
