Drop-Ball Impact Resistance of Ophthalmic Lenses--Comparison of Tint, Material, Treatment Process, and Drilling

Over 4,000 finished ophthalmic lenses were subjected to multiple drop-ball testing. Lenses varied in material, thickness, prescription, and tint. Lenses with drilled holes for rimless mounting generally were less impact-resistant. Hardened tinted-glass lenses and CR-39 lenses showed less impact effe...

Zusammenfassung:Over 4,000 finished ophthalmic lenses were subjected to multiple drop-ball testing. Lenses varied in material, thickness, prescription, and tint. Lenses with drilled holes for rimless mounting generally were less impact-resistant. Hardened tinted-glass lenses and CR-39 lenses showed less impact effects due to drilling than similar clear-glass lenses. The chemicals added to glass for tinting apparently increased impact-resistance properties. (Author)
