The Global Specialty Lens Symposium is one of the leading international events dedicated to specialty contact lenses and advanced lens technologies. The symposium brings together researchers, manufacturers, clinicians, and technology providers to exchange knowledge and explore innovations shaping the future of specialty lens manufacturing.

This year, Rotlex participated in GSLS 2026 to present its optical metrology solutions designed to support accurate measurement and quality control throughout the specialty lens production process.

Measurement Quality Assurance Throughout the Manufacturing Process

At the Rotlex booth, visitors were introduced to the concept of measurement quality assurance across the entire manufacturing workflow.

The presentation highlighted how measurement technologies can support inspection and verification at multiple stages of production — from the initial lens material to the final finished lens.

Rotlex solutions are designed to assist manufacturers in maintaining consistent optical quality while improving reliability and efficiency in their inspection processes.

The booth presentation illustrated measurement applications for:

  • Lens material inspection

  • Lathe calibration and process control

  • Front and back surface measurement

  • Optical performance verification

  • Final lens inspection

This comprehensive approach reflects the growing demand for precise and reliable metrology solutions within specialty lens manufacturing.

Conversations with the Specialty Lens Community

GSLS also provided an excellent opportunity to engage with professionals from across the specialty lens industry.

Throughout the event, the Rotlex team held discussions with manufacturers and industry experts interested in improving quality assurance and inspection capabilities in their production environments.

These conversations highlighted the importance of accurate measurement technologies in ensuring the performance and consistency required in specialty lens production.

Looking Ahead

Participation in GSLS 2026 once again demonstrated the importance of collaboration and knowledge exchange within the specialty lens community.

Rotlex remains committed to supporting manufacturers with advanced metrology solutions that enable reliable quality control and precise measurement throughout the lens manufacturing process.

We would like to thank everyone who visited the Rotlex booth during GSLS 2026 and look forward to continuing the conversations started during the symposium

Why Do Free-Form Progressive Lenses Fail Quality Control?

Why Do Free-Form Progressive Lenses Fail Quality Control?

Free-form progressive lenses fail quality control for a recognizable set of reasons: the produced surface deviates from the design file because of tool wear, material variation, thermal effects, or process drift; the corridor is mispositioned or has the wrong power progression; peripheral astigmatism exceeds design limits; localized defects such as optical islands or edge artifacts appear; or the lens is measured under conditions that make a conforming lens appear non-conforming.

What’s the Best Way to Map Optical Power Across a Progressive Lens?

The best way to map optical power across a progressive lens is full-surface wavefront sensing, which captures the complete power distribution in a single measurement rather than sampling isolated points.

Best IOL Measurement Solution: Building a Complete Capability

The best IOL measurement solution is not a single instrument but a coordinated capability covering the whole intraocular lens workflow: optical quality characterization for design and verification, model-eye measurement aligned with ISO 11979-2 configurations for regulatory-grade optical data, batch measurement for production throughput, and physical measurement of thickness and layer structure.

Virtual Cornea Addition Cannot Substitute for a Physical Cornea in IOL Wavefront Measurement: Evidence from Optical Simulation

Lens thickness measurement determines the thickness of a lens – at its center, its edge, or across its whole surface. For flexible lenses such as soft contact lenses, thickness must be measured with a non-contact optical method, because mechanical gauges compress the lens and produce artificially low readings.
