Optical Lab

Premium Lens Finishing for GT Eyewear Partners

We work with a dedicated optical laboratory to manufacture lenses that match your prescriptions, frames, and practice needs. From advanced progressives to durable coatings and smart materials, every order is finished with consistency and care.

Lenses

Our lab offers a complete lens portfolio – from premium digital progressives to task-specific office designs and classic bifocals. Each lens is engineered to give your patients clear, comfortable vision that matches the way they actually live and work.

Progressive Lenses

Premium Digital Free-Form Progressives

Customized for discerning wearers who expect sharp vision at every distance. Digital surfacing optimizes the full lens surface to deliver smooth transitions from near to intermediate to far.

  • High-definition clarity in all viewing zones.
  • Individually optimized geometry for modern prescriptions.
  • Improved comfort at near and intermediate distances.
  • Ideal for all-day wear and demanding lifestyles.
Single Vision

Stock Single Vision Lenses

Ready-to-dispense single vision options with a wide range of sphere and cylinder combinations in multiple indices and materials.

  • Thin, light profiles designed for cosmetic appeal and comfort.
  • Excellent optical performance across the full aperture.
  • Engineered for everyday wear with reliable, consistent power.
  • Pair easily with our coating and material upgrades.
Task-Specific

Office & Near-Work Lenses

Task-specific designs created for patients who spend long hours at a desk or screen. They provide extra width in the intermediate and near zones where it matters most.

  • Comfortable posture with less neck and back strain.
  • Wide, clear viewing fields for monitors and documents.
  • Tailored power profiles for near and intermediate work.
  • Great choice for office, remote work, and study environments.
Bifocal Design

Digitally Surfaced No-Line Bifocals

Invisible, back-surface free-form bifocals for patients who prefer a traditional design but want a more modern visual experience.

  • No visible line on the front surface for a cleaner look.
  • Comfortable vision for distance and near viewing tasks.
  • Available in multiple materials and combinations.
  • Great option for patients transitioning from conventional bifocals.

Coatings

Coatings protect the lens surface and upgrade the everyday experience for your patients. Our lab combines durable hard coats with advanced anti-reflective and infrared-filtering options to handle modern lighting and screen exposure.

Durable Hard Coat

Heavy-Duty Scratch Resistance

A tough hard coat that shields lenses from daily wear, wipes, and minor scratches – ideal for active patients and busy work environments.

  • High level of scratch and abrasion resistance.
  • Adds longevity to both stock and surfaced lenses.
  • Helps preserve clarity throughout the life of the Rx.
Near-Infrared Control

3-Zone Hazard & Glare Reduction

A specialized coating designed to reduce exposure to selected near-infrared wavelengths while maintaining a wide, usable light spectrum.

  • Ideal after eye procedures or for patients concerned about long-term light exposure.
  • Helps manage visual fatigue from intense or mixed lighting.
  • Complements UV and blue-light protection strategies.
Super Hydrophobic

Ultron Easy-Clean Coating

A super-slick hydrophobic and oleophobic layer that repels water, oil, and dirt so lenses stay cleaner, longer.

  • Repels smudges, fingerprints, and everyday grime.
  • Water & grease resistant for easy maintenance.
  • Comfortable, glare-free viewing when combined with AR.
  • Perfect for busy wearers who clean their lenses on the go.
Anti-Reflective

Pearlon AR Performance

Premium anti-reflective coating that cuts distracting reflections from screens, headlights, and overhead lighting while keeping lenses simple to clean.

  • Enhanced contrast and night-time clarity.
  • Reduces front and back surface reflections.
  • Water-repellent and dust-resistant surface.
  • Excellent cosmetic appearance for photos and face-to-face conversations.

Materials

The right material balances protection, comfort, and performance. Our lab offers blue-light focused options and solar-activated photochromic materials to match your patients’ digital use and lifestyle.

Blue-Light Focused

Raysafe Protection

A material designed to help manage exposure to high-energy visible light from screens and modern lighting – indoors and outdoors.

  • Helps protect eyes from digital devices and office lighting.
  • Supports comfort during long days on computers and tablets.
  • Monomer-based design for stable, predictable optics.
  • Pairs well with AR and hydrophobic coatings.
Photochromic

Photo-Adaptive “Everywear” Lenses

Solar-activated lenses that darken outdoors and clear indoors, giving patients a single pair they can wear all day in changing light.

  • Fast to darken when you step into sunlight.
  • Quick to return to a comfortable indoor tint.
  • UV-activated technology for everyday convenience.
  • Excellent “go-to” option for patients who don’t want to switch between clear and sunwear.

Lens Design & Lab Technology

Behind every finished lens is a stack of design tools and processing technologies. Our partner lab combines digital surfacing, smart mapping, and advanced coatings to deliver consistent results from order to order.

Adaptive Focus Technology Digital design that takes modern visual habits into account. It optimizes near and intermediate visual fields to reduce fatigue, neck strain, and headaches from heavy screen use.
Continuum Design Geometry Lens surfaces are calculated across the full area instead of just a few reference points. This delivers smooth power transitions and high-definition resolution compared with older free-form approaches.
Ray-Tracing Optimization Advanced ray-tracing evaluates how light travels through the lens and frame to refine both the front and back surface shapes for each prescription.
Smart Blending Technology A controlled blending process that gradually reduces thickness toward the edges, improving cosmetics while maintaining optical performance.
Smart Fit Technology Incorporates “position of wear” data such as vertex distance and frame tilt, helping reduce lens thickness and fine-tune performance for the actual frame on the patient’s face.
Integrated Material & Coating System Blue-light materials, photochromics, hard coats, hydrophobic layers, and AR are designed to work together – giving you flexible options without sacrificing consistency or turnaround time.
