Variable Front Curve Technology (VFCT)

 

Variable Front Curve Technology (VFCT)


Enhanced generation 3 designs utilize lens blanks manufactured using “Variable Front Curve Technology” (VFCT). These special VFCT lens blanks offer a continuously increasing base curve on the front surface from top to bottom, providing a lower diopter in the distance zone and higher diopter in the reading zone. The state-of-art digital back-surface design is calculated in mutual accord with the unique variable base curve changes on the front surface. When the unique variable base curve front surface is combined with a sophisticated back-side digital design, both surfaces work together to produce a design that provides ideal base curves for very lens power. When embedded with the individual personalization parameters, the result is a finished lens that is comprehensively customized for each individual lens.

 


 


 

Note: The variable base curve feature on the front surface of a lens blank manufactured using “Variable Front Curve Technology” (VFCT) is standard and locked. The base curve change cannot be specified. Due to this fact the variable front curve lens blanks are available in limited materials.
