3. CENTERING A PROGRESSIVE LENS
Prerequisite: before carrying out lens centering, a shape must be displayed on the centering screen.
If necessary, we recommend the following prior operations:
• Modifying or retouching the traced shape (F p.65)
• Preparing the drilling points to be created (option) (F p.73)
• Place the stickers recommended by the manufacturer on hydrophobic lenses.
This section describes the procedures for centering a progressive lens
&
:
• using re-marked micro-engravings mode (F p.47)
• using manufacturer markings mode (F p.50)
Description of the centering target
1. Centering cross (orange cross) and boxing center of the shape (blue cross)

a. Centering a progressive lens using re-marked micro-engravings
Prerequisite
• Remove all the original markings.

lens.
