ME-1000 Lens Edging System.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.—Santinelli International is introducing a software upgrade for its ME-1000 Lens Edging System that enables ECPs to produce customized Chemistrie Sunlenses by Eyenovate, a Pittsburgh-based company. The sunlenses magnetically self-align onto prescription eyewear and are an economical alternative or supplement to a full set of prescription sunwear, according to Santinelli. Using the exclusive “Click Mode” software, ECPs can drill holes in the sunlenses and mount the magnets.

Our alliance with Santinelli International and the development of the lens edger ‘Click Mode’ does just that, as it offers a turn key solution for increasing profits.
