Contact Lens Luminous Transmittance Analyzer

The Contact Lens Luminous Transmittance Analyzer is a precision instrument designed to measure the spectral transmittance of soft and hard contact lenses, including hydrogel, silicone hydrogel, artificial cornea, RGP, and Ortho-K lenses. The instrument integrates a built-in integrating sphere to ensure highly accurate measurements that comply with international standards. It features a specially designed lens clamp that prevents deformation, enabling reliable and repeatable results. This analyzer is ideal for manufacturers, laboratories, and research institutions focusing on optical performance evaluation and quality control of contact lenses.
