PURPOSE:
Milling haptics of solid and foldable intra-ocular lenses (IOL's)

A new manufacturing method has been developed for these Single Crystal Diamond Milling tools that makes them more precise and reliable compared to what is currently available in the industry.

ADVANTAGES:

  • A very balanced tool
  • Longer tool life (10 - 15,000 lenses)
  • Higher accuracy/Better surface finish

Compared to conventional tungsten carbide or steel milling cutters, Single Crystal Milling Tools offer the following.

BENEFITS

  • Much longer tool life
  • Dramatic reduction of machine
    (at least 150 times longer) downtime in replacing conventional cutters
  • Superior surface finish, less polishing

Unlike conventional tungsten carbide and steel milling cutters, using single crystal diamond milling tools require a different approach in use to maximise the advantages and benefits that these tools offer.
