Novar Optical Lens Designer
In development for over seven years, the Novar Free-form Lens Designer is successfully utilized on tens of thousands of lenses. More importantly, Novar can be implemented on a broad variety of laboratory management systems and surfacing platforms, including Coburn’s Cobalt System, as well as those of other major equipment manufacturers.

LENS DESIGN SOFTWARE FEATURES
Continuum Design Technology
The benefit of Continuum Design Technology is that it defines the lens as a continuous surface. This increases optical definition, improves field amplitude and reduces peripheral aberrations. Other digital lens design software define the lens as a sequence of points connected arbitrarily.
Wear Fit Technology
Personalization technology that compensates for the aberrations produced by a lens due to its position of use.
Thickness Technology
Complete customization at your finger tips with the ability to optimize and reduce thickness for all kinds of frames, shapes & materials. Includes:
Circular Fit Thickness circulation from the lens diameter (CRIB) chosen by the patient.
Optimal Fit Thickness reduction from frame data (HBOX, VBOX, FED, FEDAX, DBL, IPD).
Smart Fit Intelligent frame thickness calculation technology.
Blending Technology
A technology developed in order to thin the edges of an ophthalmic lens. An optic zone is defined around the frame cross. Away from this zone, the thickness is reduced with a gradual change of curvature in order to obtain a thinner lens.
PROGRESSIVES
