R.T.F Orders (Ready To Fit) Lenses

ELLIVRON PROCEDURES Email Ordering 

Current state of play on R.T.F’s.

Yes Ready to Fit called by some remote edging. One can say hand on heart today works really well. So much easier than ever before. Practice staff can input an Rx script onto the online webpage, email it over to us whilst attaching the scanned shape - job done!  Even rimless work this way, pre-drilled six holes ready for you to press together!

Where the frames / shapes are already familiar i.e. we have glazed previously we can use the shape straight off our electronic file. Yes even if it was a year ago we can produce an edged new lens for you to fit in practice. So an all-round quicker and cheaper with reduced carriage charges each way.

By planning ahead the practice can avoid the need for individual eye shape measuring. We can pre-scan your stock or source shapes from the “shape cloud” where leading frame suppliers have made this service available. Although it tends not to work so well with cheaper frames or batches produced at different times or those made in different factories even to their reputed “same design”!

To use RTF, you need is 

• A frame tracer
• A program on your computer to be able to save the scans as an OMA file.

If you don’t have a program to save your files to then go to the Hawkstone web site and download the VCA tracer. This is program to read the trace data and store them on your computer.
