Quality control

Every lens, measured.

Mechanical, chemical and optical tests before lenses leave the factory.

Test protocol

What we check.

01 Cross-hatch adhesion

Coating is scored in a grid and pulled with 3M tape. Cut edges must stay smooth with no squares lifted.

02 Steel-wool abrasion

000# steel wool, ≥750 g load, 1,000 cycles. Haze increase must stay within 0.8%.

03 Salt-water boil

20 minutes in boiling 5% NaCl, then room-temperature water. No cracking or peeling allowed.

04 Coating color

Measured against standard reference data on color-testing equipment.

05 Thickness & diameter

Checked by micrometer and calipers against spec.

06 Surface & internal defects

Inspected under light against allowable defect ranges.
