A high-quality finish is very important for lenses with excellent anti-reflection properties. Dirt is even more visible with the minimal reflections and thus considered very annoying by the spectacle wearer.
With the X-tra Clean Finish, Rodenstock says it has set a new standard in ophthalmic optics.
“The extremely smooth surface means that dirt hardly sticks – and if the lens does get dirty, the dirt can be easily removed without leaving any streaks or residue on the lens,” the company said.
According to Rodenstock, an independent market research study carried out by market research agency with face-to-face interviews with spectacle wearers age 40-70 years showed:
- After cleaning the lenses with X-tra Clean Finish, 100% perceive them as absolutely clean without residue
- 93% state that lenses with X-tra Clean Finish are easier to clean than their current lenses due to the smoothness of the lenses.
Added to the Rodenstock current Solitaire 2 family of coatings, which have UV back surface protection and a three-year scratch warranty, X-tra clean coat could be the answer to patient anti-reflection coating objections, the company said.
