I recently started implementing a new polishing process that uses a diamond abrasive to enhance the finish of our high-index lenses. The results have been impressive, with fewer surface defects and better visual clarity. I’m curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or if there are additional techniques you’d recommend for optimizing lens quality?
I’ve found that incorporating a brief ultrasonic cleaning step right after polishing can really boost the overall clarity and finish. It seems to remove any microscopic particles that the polishing might leave behind. Have you noticed a difference in clarity even with just the diamond abrasive process?
I agree — using diamond abrasives definitely helps with clarity. I’d suggest trying a controlled heat treatment post-polishing; it can further enhance lens integrity. @lhamilton33, have you noticed how that impacts your process?
