How does Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ work?
Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ rapidly fuses the multi-feature Preform™, which combines a range of optical and physical properties, with any lens, in an eco-friendly 3D thermoforming process.
The Optical film
Is a powerful layer used by the automobile, aviation and space industry, including NASA, due to its impact resistance qualities - enabling a thinner and lighter final lens.
The coating structure
Is optimized by algorithms while controlling light - enabling a new way to apply coating on a lens.
3D thermoforming Fusing
To ensure a perfect match between the Preform and any lens curvature – creating a supercharged lens.
SUPER-STRONG, SUPER-THIN and SUPER-LIGHT
COATING BUILT RIGHT IN
Replacing standard coatings with Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™’s All-inclusive
multi-feature Preform™:
UP TO 98% FASTER COATING PROCESS,
WITH ZERO COMPROMISES ON QUALITY
Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ doesn’t just provide lenses with advanced features such as super strength, lightness and thinness. It also significantly enhances them with the functional equivalent of coatings.
Perfect looks and
perfect vision
Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ uses advanced algorithms to ensure that every optical and physical property of its multi-feature Preform™ is most precisely and reliably index-matched, ensuring full uniformity.
