The Dimetrix lens verification and finish blocker, from Gerber Coburn, has been upgraded to allow you or your lab technician to view both eyes before blocking the second lens. The device also includes left and right prism imbalance settings to confirm that progressive lenses are within prism tolerances.
Another new feature: a manual offset mode for block axis that allows you to manually set an offset for production. Also, Dimetrix now recognizes dotted lenses. The 2005 American National Standards Institute tolerances are set as a default, although individual labs may customize these settings.
