Digital Freeform and Progressive Lens Designs

Digital freeform RX lenses were one of the key areas highlighted at the Hongchen booth.

The fast-turnaround program is designed to help international optical businesses shorten waiting times for suitable prescription orders while maintaining standardized production and quality-control procedures.
