Home > FocalPoints Overview

THE BEST SOLUTION
FOR THE CONTACT LENS
MANUFACTURING NEEDS

FocalPoints is a collection of linked software programs that helps the lens manufacturer integrate and exploit modern lens technologies. FocalPoints addresses all aspects of designing and manufacturing contact lenses: lens design, order processing and tracking, automated fitting on corneal maps, direct drive of lathes, manufacturing follow-up, traceability, invoicing and shipping.

WHAT MAKES FP DESIGNER UNIQUE

FP Designer is at the core of the FocalPoints environment. Designer is a free-form CAD dedicated to contact lens design, it's not just a collection of predefined designs. Designer allows to create the rules that define a lens design, set materials and machining characteristics.

THE MOST USED DESIGN CAD IN THE INDUSTRY

SAME DESIGN
FOR ANY KIND OF LATHE BRAND

SIMULATION TOOLS FOR SPEEDING UP RESEARCH

Rules Based Lens Design

ADVANCED LENS DESIGN

With FocalPoints you can easily design and manufacture symmetrical, toric, and asymmetrical lenses. Set the optical characteristics of lenses and use a wide variety of tools to create rules-based lens designs. FP Designer has a powerful rules-based design feature that allows you to set Simple or Complex rules, and even Tables, which can be applied and reused in all your design process.

Increasing productivity with a single Barcode architecture

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

With single point data entry parameters for each order are entered only once, data-entry errors are drastically reduced with consequent time-savings. A barcode input architecture requires no data-entry by the Lathe operator. Only one scan is needed per surface. While production tracking enables to monitor closely rejects and productivity all throughout the Manufacturing process.

Integrating Lens Inspection Equipment

UNIQUE INTEGRATION

Modularity and Integration are at the center of our philosophy. FocalPoints interfaces easily with Windows OS, the major Lathes and the most used Instruments in the business. The database is centralised, any number of lathes or instruments can be added to the Lab in a client-server architecture.

ADVANCED TOOLS, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

FocalPoints Designer has a number of powerful tools for visualising lens optics and geometry that allow you to find problems or fine tune a design before it goes to the Lathe. In addition to traditional spheres and conic sections, FocalPoints offers Arcs, Bezier curves, Splines, and automatic Blending curves. FocalPoints allows the Lens Designer to dynamically control the lens geometry through the use of formulas or tables.
