    Hi Texas,

    I mean every lens that is not sent or accepted by the costumer, for exemple....if a have 200 pairs of lens a day, how much is admissible?? 2, 3, 4, .... pairs of lens a day?

    Sounds like you mean Lab redo's or customer rejects. In the US the national ave runs between 4-6%.

    Keep in mind that doesn't mean they are all bad, just that the dispensor doesn't know whats good and whats not.

    One other thing comes to mind. For a lot of reasons different countries use different lenses and processing methods. Redo rate in your country could be different.

    I would think that anything under 3% would be amazing. But like mrba said, a lot has to do with the discernment of the client, the dispenser accepting or rejecting the order. and, I would imaging that the that will be higher in a shop that does mostly finishing work that one doing mostly uncut work. I suppose, it's a matter of the degree of difficulty of the orders. If you ran 100 safety glass orders, you might have 0.25% breakage; but if you have 100 3-piece drill mounts, your breakage might be 6-7%? theory...
