Innovations performs all surface and finish layout calculations automatically.  A comprehensive database includes manufacturer-supplied curves, surfacing charts, and topographical maps for accurate processing of single vision, multifocal, and aspheric lenses.  Lens selection can take place automatically based on prescription, frame trace, and material preference.  Detailed machine settings can be printed or sent electronically to machine interfaces.


Lens Calculation and Processing features include:

Master lens database This database allows automatic blank selection and inventory control by selecting appropriate lenses and displaying stock status.  The data is refreshed in periodic lens updates that are included with annual service support contracts.
Adaptable lens selection  Innovations provides flexible lens selection by using a three-pass selection  process as it searches for the most appropriate stocked lens for the prescription and frame.  When no lenses in a particular category are in-stock, lab-specified "preferred alternates" are chosen instead. If an appropriate blank cannot be found, Innovations displays the largest available blank and the frame trace, allowing the operator to move the lens in the frame to achieve cut-out, then automatically recalculates PD and seg height. 
Centralized data management When new lenses are introduced, automatic updates to your database will be available on CD-ROM or via e-mail.
Base curve selection Base curve selection charts can be modified to suit lab preferences or to select a flatter base curve as is often needed for half-eye glasses.
Lens Explorer format The lens database is presented in the same way files are shown in Windows®  Explorer. Access to lens data is more intuitive and settings for each category are easier to manage.
Online help  Online help provides explanations of terms and procedures.
Comprehensive worktickets  Innovations worktickets show settings for most equipment.  The level of detail and layout can be modified to serve the needs of individual labs.
Customized worktickets The workticket designer enables customization of existing worktickets or the production of entirely new designs. The workticket browser allows you to browse on-screen all of the worktickets produced for each order.
