Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9828126A2] A lens making system for producing ophthalmic lenses using a combination of heat and light to polymerize a liquid resin has a personal computer-based architecture. Electronic ballasts modulate the light from a light source in the system. All of the cooling necessary for the system is provided by a cooling fan of the power supply of the system. A bar code-reading pen checks compatibility between materials and resin and ensures that appropriate cure cycles are activated, and a modem allows for remote accessing of the system to facilitate automatic reordering and inventory control of the system.
