Ophthalmic Lap Truing Disk

Ophthalmic Lap Truing Disks are specialized tools used in ophthalmic surgery and procedures. They are part of the supply class Ophthalmic Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

These disks are used for truing and shaping the surface of ophthalmic lenses. Truing refers to the process of correcting any imperfections or irregularities on the lens surface, ensuring that it is smooth and uniform. This is crucial for maintaining the optical clarity and performance of the lens.

Ophthalmic Lap Truing Disks are typically made of a hard material, such as diamond or abrasive materials, that can effectively remove material from the lens surface. They come in various sizes and grits, allowing for different levels of precision and surface finish.

During the truing process, the disk is mounted onto a lap machine or a truing machine. The lens is then placed against the rotating disk, and the operator carefully moves the lens across the disk's surface to remove any imperfections. This process requires skill and precision to achieve the desired lens surface quality.

Overall, Ophthalmic Lap Truing Disks are essential tools in the field of ophthalmology, enabling the production of high-quality lenses with optimal optical performance.
