One major advantage of producing [out-of-the-mold] AR-coated lenses vs. applying AR to already finished plastic lenses with a separate vacuum process is the surface quality of the delivered lens. Unlike traditional vacuum ARs that apply extremely thin layers of vaporized metal oxides, ODC
nanoCLEAR AR uses nano-particle metal oxides in a polymer base. The result is an exterior lens surface that does not require the addition of a hydrophobic coating to make the lens cleanable. ODC nanoCLEAR AR-coated lenses are just as easy to clean as any other ODC ClearLight or SmartShades lens.
Optical Dynamics has entered into joint development agreements with both the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky . Both of these universities have nationally prominent nanotechnology departments. Optical Dynamics has benefited from cooperatively working with the faculty and scientists at these two prestigious universities in the development of our nanoCLEAR AR technology.
