Noah’s Arc™ is the culmination of nearly three years of research and development into a quest for a better and more accurate method to measure the circumference of ophthalmic lenses.

The sophistication of the industry has leaped forward with robotic and automated blockers, generators, and edgers and most recently the advent of so-called “Digital Surfacing”.  

For too long laboratory and retail opticians have measured the circumference of ophthalmic lenses using the familiar circumference measurement box and plastic tape. This device though in wide spread use is hardly state-of-the-art and prone to wide variances by the amount of tension applied while stretching or pulling the tape around the lens.

With over 30 years of optical laboratory and industry-wide experience, Practical Engineering provides hands-on experience coupled with modern process engineering knowledge to assist you in unlocking the hidden potentials for profit enhancement and operating cost reduction within your organization.

Meeting the growing and ever-increasingly stringent market demands prevalent within the ophthalmic lens production industry calls for techniques and methodologies that match the escalating sophistication of our lenses and the machine tools on which they are produced.

Change is a way of life within American industries and ours is certainly not immune. The truth of the matter is “…that which got you here may not get you there…”

Let Practical Engineering assist you in navigating the seas of change and the opportunities that exist in the challenging environment we face.
