TECHNOLOGY
Advanced Lens Technology
AddOptics has pioneered a revolutionary approach to optical manufacturing that combines precision engineering with proven material science. Our proprietary optical moulding process represents a significant advancement in lens production technology.
OUR APPROACH
Design for Manufacturing
Traditional lens manufacturing involves complex, multi-step processes with significant limitations in customization. The AddOptics technology platform transforms this paradigm by enabling true mass customization of optical components.
Our proprietary Design for Manufacturing (DFM) technology creates custom moulds for each customer, enabling unprecedented personalization at scale. The precision-engineered moulds allow us to manufacture unique lenses cost-competitively, maintaining quality while eliminating the traditional trade-off between customization and affordability.
Mass Customization
Each lens can be individually designed and produced with unique specifications without the prohibitive costs typically associated with custom optics.
Ambient Processing
Manufacturing under ambient pressure and low-temperature conditions preserves component integrity while ensuring consistent optical quality.
Standard Compatibility
Compatible with standard ophthalmic polymers while achieving precision that exceeds conventional manufacturing capabilities.
VISION CORRECTION
Full Prescription Compatibility
Our technology delivers the same refractive correction capabilities found in commercially available lenses from opticians, maintaining compatibility with standard prescriptions and vision correction needs.
Patients can seamlessly transition to AddOptics lenses while receiving identical optical performance for conditions like myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia that they would expect from traditional eyewear providers.
MATERIALS
Material Portfolio
Our materials range from standard optical resin for pre-production and lower diopters to high-refractive options for stronger prescriptions. All materials offer excellent clarity, color rendering, and impact resistance with low curing temperatures.
Standard Optical Resin
Ideal for pre-production and lower diopter requirements
Mid-Index Material
Balanced option for moderate prescription strengths
High-Refractive Index
For stronger prescriptions requiring thinner profiles
