Can they be converted to produce OMA files for remote edging with other software?

Thanks!
I tried your link but am getting a '503 Service Unavailable' message.
I have asked a colleague in another lab to try it on his pc and he is getting the same.
...all links to silhouettelab.com pages are not opening.

I'm a bit stuck!
Robert_S - I work for Caledonian Optical in the UK and we manufacture a Camber lens called ARC. I'd be happy to talk to you about it.

Hey Barry. My Topcon LM-8 focimeter has a few battle scars now and I was thinking of replacing it with a Vitzro LM-9 which appears to be essentially the same machine. The idea of a digital lensmeter...

Hi optical24/7. Yes, there are only 4 independent coating labs that I am aware of. Sure, all the big players offer coatings, but only on their own lenses as opposed to ones I'd be sending them.

Does anyone know of any UK based coating companies?
I've used a couple and know of a couple more but I wonder if there's any I've missed.
My list has Sinclair, Spectrum, Siltint and Optimum on...
Craig, how does that LED torch work? I've just found it in my Hilco catalogue.
It's incredibly cheap so I have to wonder!
Do you not have to stand for ages holding the torch and lens to get full...
Running outside? Is that what you were doing before? That's dedication for you!

Hi everyone!
We currently have a UV400 Photometer which is a simple machine for checking UV blockage in lenses.
We have used it in the past to check the activation of photochromic lenses as it...
