LIVERMORE, Calif.—Ron’s Optical, located here, is introducing the Pupil Marker, a simple but effective tool for marking pupils.

Developed by Ron’s Optical in collaboration with veteran optician Michael Goodwin, the Pupil Marker can accurately measure the fitting height of progressive lenses. The product uses white ink, which is acid free and able to mark all surfaces, including anti-reflective lenses. The white marker provides a contrasting mark against the black background of the pupil which can easily be seen by the dispenser from several feet away.

“After speaking with Mike [Goodwin] about the Pupil Marker I knew this was a very smart product,” said Ron’s Optical president Melissa Scoppettone. ■ ■
