LOW COST COATING ON OPTHALMIC RESIN LENSES

眼科镜片上的抗反射涂层产生许多益处。 然而，大多数光学实验室无法承担数百万美元的成本， 真空AR镀膜设备在今天的眼科零售市场上， 每天一小时的服务是不断宣传的，因此，五天 通过中央制造实验室转向AR涂层镜片， 反抗建议的研究是开发一种基于低 成本溶胶-凝胶过程中这个问题，以使美国人享受 AR涂层的优点浸涂和旋涂技术将 用于这项研究。固有的低成本和兼容性 目前的硬涂层工艺肯定会增加百分比 美国AR镀膜镜片，从而造福美国社会。 拟定商业应用： 60亿美元的眼科透镜治疗市场潜力巨大。 所提出的快速、低成本制造眼科上的抗反射涂层的方法， 镜片将显著增加镜片上AR涂层的使用。

Anti-reflective coatings on ophthalmic lenses yield many benefits. However, most of optical labs can not afford the million dollar cost of vacuum AR coating equipment. In the ophthalmic retail market today, one hour of one day service is advertised constantly, and therefore a five day turn around on AR coated lenses via the central fabrication lab is resisted. The proposed research is to develop a solution based on the low cost sol-gel process of this problem in order to have Americans enjoying the benefit of AR coatings. Dip coating and spin coating technologies will be used in this research. The intrinsic low cost and compatibility with current the hard coating process will definitely increase the percentage of US AR coated lenses, thus benefit the American society. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Great potential exists in US $6 billion ophthalmic lens treatment market. The proposed fast, low cost fabrication of AR coatings on ophthalmic lenses will significantly increase the usage of AR coatings on lenses.
