Recently, in the past 2 months, when I was checking in jobs I noted that my PD marker was marking on 1-side or the other of the lenses. In school I learned that ARC lenses are hydrophobic. So, I called my lab and asked them why this was occuring--pd marker not beading up. At the lab's request I sent all of the jobs like this to 1 persons attention. I was told that the lab missed the arc on 1-side. Then I was directed to a supervisor who told me the arc was on both sides--but it was only the hydrophobic coating that was missing. To me there was a big "word play" on whether or not the arc was on both sides are not. Damn it! The hydrophobic coating is part of a "complete arc lens!" The supervisor mailed me a felt pen and told me to apply the coating myself. Howerver, the pen's directions said to shake, twist till you hear glass break, apply , and throw away. This is something I had never heard off, it was a 1x use pen, and I was still recieving jobs without the final ARCoting. The problem was not resolved. I was left in terrible situation, and did not know what to do. Is this a common occurence? I changed employers last week and are afraid to '''really check" another job again! What have ya'll seen with this?
Would YOU dispense ARC lenses that do not have the hydrophobic coating ontop?
Without the final coat, ARC are even harder to to keep clear, right?
