What is alloy and why avoid it?

Aluminum alloy is a mix of metals used to block (securely mount) unfinished lens material during grinding and polishing. Alloy contains hazardous materials including cadmium, lead & indium.

Alloy has long been the blocking material of choice for most lens labs, because it provides strong support during the dynamic lens surfacing process. But using alloy comes at a high cost:

  • Alloy and its fumes are a health hazard for optics industry workers
  • Alloy is bad for the environment and difficult to dispose of safely
  • Alloy is expensive, with unpredictable price fluctuations

The vast majority of optical companies still use alloy during eyewear prescription processing. Wisconsin Vision is the first optical retailer in the USA to use an alloy-free process. We have completely eliminated alloy in our lens lab by investing in the latest eyeglass lens technology.
