LOW COST COATING ON OPTHALMIC RESIN LENSES

眼镜片上的减反射膜有很多好处。 然而，大多数光学实验室负担不起数百万美元的成本 真空AR镀膜设备。在今天的眼科零售市场上，有一家 一天一小时的服务不断地被广告宣传，因此五天 通过中央制造实验室转而使用AR镀膜镜片 抵抗了。建议的研究是开发一个基于LOW的解决方案 为了让美国人享受到这一问题的成本溶胶-凝胶过程 AR涂层的好处。浸渍涂层和旋涂技术将 在本研究中使用。固有的低成本和与 目前的硬涂层工艺肯定会提高这一比例 美国AR镀膜镜片，从而造福于美国社会。 建议的商业应用： 60亿美元的眼科晶状体治疗市场潜力巨大。 一种快速、低成本的眼科AR涂层制备方法 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.
