Flawlessly Edging Super-Hydrophobic Coated Lenses
In just minutes a day, you too can edge super-hydrophobic lenses flawlessly!

Edging lenses coated with super-hydrophobic (a.k.a. oleophobic) coatings like Zeiss Carat Advantage and HOYA Super Hi-Vision can be a challenge. These coatings are so slippery, rotation can occur during the edging process causing the lens to come off-axis.
