LEYBOLD OPTICS at MIDO 2004

Alzenau, 02/2004

LEYBOLD OPTICS, the leading manufacturer of AR (anti reflection) coating sys-tems for ophthalmic lenses will present the latest develop-ments in coating technology and production of ophthalmic lenses.

BOXER is an innovative midsized coating solution which is just right for professional Rx production. Easy maintenance and the optimized coating geometry make BOXER to an interesting coating solution for Rx labs.

LION represents the new generation of ion sources for both IAD ( ion assisted deposition ) and conditioning of lenses . LION is developed to cut down running cost and therefore is easy to handle, flexible in use of gases, almost mainte-nance-free. LION is designed for all box coaters, not lim-ited to LEYBOLD OPTICS machines.

The range of antireflection (AR) coatings has been again ex-panded with the introduction of OPTIFLEX SA to provide high durability over in-mold scratch resistant surfaces, like those manufactured by Signet Armorlite, a leading lens manufacturer.

For complete information about the solutions for ophthal-mics, we are looking forward to welcoming you to our booth at MIDO 2004 in Milan/Italy.
