1 | ABOUT JAI KUDO LENSES 

Glazing 

The Jai Kudo Lenses glazing team is a self-sufficient department 

equipped with state-of-the-art edging machines, our own stock of 

frames from brands within the Millmead Optical Group and staff with 

skill sets that enables us to glaze even the most challenging frames 

and lens powers. 

Our Services 

• Glazed Package in conjunction 

with Continental Eyewear 

Remote Edging Files 

Jai Kudo Lenses can provide your business with a tracer. Speak to 

your Business Development Manager for terms and conditions. 

Alternatively we can accept a trace file from your existing machine. 

This allows Jai Kudo Lenses to process your trace file for full rim, supra 

and rimless orders. 

• Next day UK delivery across our 

extensive range of uncut 

single vision stock lenses* 

• Traditionally surfaced and 

freeform surfaced lenses 

When you have a patient with a high combination of spherical and 

cylinder powers, it is best to send the entire job to our glazing team to 

glaze. However, we suggest calling the customer service team to 

discuss this. 

• Our WIDEVIEW lenses utilise 

true freeform technology 

In addition, there are certain frame types that are not always suitable 

for tracing through remote edgers. These can include double rim 

frames, inline supra frames, shallow frames with a depth of less than 

22mm and frames with a high degree 

of wrap angle. 

• Bifocals 

• Honeycomb anti-fatigue coating 

Established in 1996, we 

are an international 

supplier of stock 

and surfaced 

ophthalmic lenses.

The Business 

Now part of Millmead Optical Group, we are based in Liverpool as 

part of a 4.8 acre optical business site. The group also has offices in 

Germany and Hong Kong. We currently supply lenses to Europe, 

Africa and the Asian subcontinent but we have the ability to distribute 

to all continents. 

Our primary goal is to offer an exceptional product range combined 

with unrivalled value for money to the independent optician, allowing 

us to partner with practitioners to develop their in-practice lens 

technology and increase their business profitability. We have over two 

million lenses in stock. 

Combined with next day stock lens delivery, this service enables our 

customers to offer a market leading service to their loyal patient base, 

supported by a user friendly online ordering facility to enable 

efficiency at all levels. 

For frames that are difficult to trace, or for orders where you require 

powers outside of +/-6.00 sphere and over -3 cyls, we strongly 

suggest you send the frame and lens order to our onsite glazing team. 

Hints & Tips 

We strongly recommend that you perform monthly 

calibrations on your tracer, keep the needle clean and 

ensure the rim of the frame is cleaned before every 

trace is carried out. 

Always ensure that your tracer is free from debris and 

every frame is visually inspected for rim defects.

Glazing & Fitting 

Our team can precisely cut your lenses and expertly 

fit them into your frame. 

To ensure a fast and efficient process, please provide us with your patients (PX) 

prescription, including RX (prescription details), mono PD’s, vertical heights, and 

lens type ABD measurements. Additionally, please select one of the eight available 

shapes that best matches your chosen frame. This selection will help us calculate the 

required blank for your lenses ensuring the best possible aesthetics for your patient. 

By following this method, we can promptly place your lens order and initiate 

production without delay. To proceed, securely package your PX frame along with its 

case. Please make sure to clearly label the frame with your account number and PX 

order number for easy identification. Once received the frame is married up with your 

patients lenses. 

Glazing Only 

Jai Kudo Lenses offers a lens glazing service from 

the trace file you provide, and will return the lenses 

to you for fitting. 

To ensure optimal performance, it is important to regularly calibrate your tracer 

and keep it clean, ensuring the needle is free from debris. Please make sure 

to place the frame correctly in the tracer. It is your responsibility to ensure the 

accuracy of the trace file. You can conveniently upload your trace file using the 

VCA software installed (we can assist with the setup if needed). Remember to 

complete all the required fields on the order form and select the ‘Trace File’ 

option. 

Once we receive the trace file, we will cut the lenses to match the shape specified 

in the file. This applies to both stock and surfaced lenses, as well as full rim and 

supra orders. After the lenses are cut, we will promptly send them to you so you 

can easily fit them into your PX frame.

ORDERING BY POST USING YOUR JAI KUDO LENSES ORDER PAD 

Please use your online account to check our latest power ranges. 

See page 11 for further details. 

When ordering a photochromic we recommend that you order the 

same lens type. For example, both stock lenses, or both surfaced 

per pair. Avoid combining stock with surfaced, as there may be 

slight variances with colour reaction time, depth of colour and 

residual tint. 

Also, the same applies with MAR coated lenses, it is best practice 

to have the same lens type for both lenses to ensure an exact 

match is achieved. 

When providing your A measurement please check the 

frame diagonal measurement also. 

This is essential as some frames that are asymetric for example, 

a classic aviator, often have a wider span from corner to corner as 

oppose to frame width horizontally. Failure to check this can result 

in lenses being produced that are too small to cut out. 

Please ensure that when you place your order online 

you check all parameters entered are correctly. 

To ensure a smooth ordering process, please complete the Jai Kudo Lenses order pad with 

your account number, address, and PX details. Failure to provide these essential details may 

result in delays to your order. Once you have filled out the order form, please post it along 

with your PX frame and case to Jai Kudo Lenses. 

Upon receiving your order, we will carefully assess and trace the frame, allowing us to 

determine the specific lenses required. This method is particularly suitable for orders that 

require Jai Kudo Lenses glazing services, especially when dealing with high or complex 

prescriptions or non-standard frames. 

If sending a patients own frame to reglaze you must remove the 

lenses clean and inspect the frame. It is entirely at the patients own 

risk to reglaze a frame that has already been worn and previously 

fitted with lenses. 

Please note that this method relies on the services of Dx or Royal Mail for us to 

receive your order. Kindly allow an additional three days on top of the quoted lead 

times to accommodate for processing and delivery. 

Where possible it is always best to process patient orders electronically 

for accuracy and speed.

3 | PERSONALISED LENS MEASUREMENT GUIDE FRAME SELECTION 

The purpose of personalised measurements is to offer your patient 

the very best in tailored vision. One size does not fit all, we strongly 

advise that you take fresh measurements for each personalised lens 

that you dispense. 

By doing so you ensure that the chosen dispensed frame allows the 

lenses to sit in the optimum position therefore delivering the best 

vision.

• Please fit the frame as if the patient was collecting. 

i.e. perfect frame fit at the point of dispense.

With all dispenses, minimal decentration of the lens will always 

deliver better aesthetic results. When helping a patient to choose 

their eyewear, please pay particular attention to where the pupil 

sits behind each lens, a centrally sitting pupil will require less 

decentration when glazing. 

Horizontal and vertical pupil position will impact overall 

edge and centre thickness. 

For all progressive dispenses, please ensure that there is a minimum 

clearance of 10mm from the fitting cross to the top rim of the chosen 

frame. 

When ordering online click on ‘Thickness’ for smart simulated lens 

edge and centre substance. 

• Length to bend - please ensure that the sides of each 

frame sit correctly on and behind the patients ears. 

• Ensure the frame sits level on the patients face, 

adjust accordingly the angle of each side to achieve 

a symmetric and level fit. 

• If the frame has independent nose pads, 

please ensure that these are adjusted so that the frame 

sits perfectly on the patients nose.

MEASUREMENT ADVICE 

Corridor Length: An 18mm and above corridor is 

considered very deep for a personalised lens dispense. 

Ideal for patients who require a a larger area for intermediate vision 

tasks. Please note the reading area will appear much lower down in 

the lens. 

Hints & Tips 

Please ensure your chosen corridor lengths fit the frame. 

Fitting Height: Please measure the vertical 

heights from the bottom rim of the chosen frame 

to the patients pupil centre. 

We recommend obtaining fresh measurements for each dispense 

due to the fact that numerous new designer fashion frames 

may lack the optimal tilt and bow for progressive lens dispenses. 

These personalized measurements customize the lens production 

process, guaranteeing optimal vision regardless 

of the chosen frame.

Protect your Eyes with Light 

Intelligent Lenses 

Optishade lenses are designed to change their tint automatically 

based on the level of UV exposure. 

Optishade lenses are clear when you are indoors or in lowlight 

conditions, but as soon as you step outside into bright 

sunlight, they begin to darken to protect your eyes. They are 

able to do this thanks to a special photochromic technology 

that is built into the lenses. The Optishade lenses offer 100% 

UV protection (up to 400 nm). This means that they block 

out UV rays that can damage your eyes. So, with Optishade 

lenses, you can be sure that your eyes are getting the 

protection they need when you’re out in the sun. 

Optishade lenses have a quick fade back speed when you 

move back indoors or into lower light conditions (residual 

colour after fade back of approximately 10% absorption). A 

hassle-free solution for those who want to protect their eyes 

without swapping from glasses to sunglasses all day. 

KEY BENEFITS 

• 100% UV protection - up to 400nm 

• Available in two colours - Brown & Grey 

• Lenses darken to 25% transmission in 

around 90 seconds 

• Light absorption a maximum of 75% 

• Light transmission - maximum of 25% 

• Residual colour after fade back of 

approximately 10% absorption 

• Fade back speed of around 3 minutes 

when back indoors 

IDEAL FOR 


• Someone looking for more affordable 

photochromic lenses than Transitions

Please note, delivery time is up to two weeks, and Mirror lenses are not available with Honeycomb. 

Improves Contrast & Visual Acuity 

NuPolar technology has been refined and improved for decades 

to provide unparalleled comfort and protection efficiency. 

When light hits a reflective surface, such as water, snow, even cars and buildings, the light can become polarised, 

esulting in glare that can interfere with your vision. Only polarised lenses can remove this glare, working much 

as a Venetian blind to block out horizontal polarised light waves.

Protection against glare and reflections 

With optimised light transmission and delivering exceptional clarity of vision. 

Super-Hydrophobic Lens Coating 

Hydro+ is a super-hydrophobic lens coating composed of 12 layers. 

Infinity XT provides your patient with protection against glare and reflections whilst optimising light 

transmission and delivering exceptional clarity of vision. 

KEY BENEFITS 

• Eliminates reflections (front and back) 

• Guaranteed durability 

Enhance Lenses With Our UV400 Filter 

To ensure your patients are 100% protected from harmful UV 

rays (applicable only on 1.5 index material) ask for your lenses 

to be coated with Jai Kudo Lenses UV400 filter. 

One of the most impressive features of Hydro+ 

is its ability to repel liquids, including water 

and grease. Liquids will bead and roll off the 

surface of the lens. In tests, Hydro+ has been 

shown to be up to eight times easier to clean 

than a standard lens coating. 

Lenses coated with Hydro+ resist scratches. 

This is important for individuals who use 

their glasses frequently or who work in 

environments where their glasses may be 

exposed to potential damage. The coating acts 

as a barrier, protecting the lens from everyday 

wear and tear, such as smudges and scratches. 

Another advantage of Hydro+ is its antireflective 

properties. The coating reduces the 

amount of light that is reflected off the surface 

of the lens, which helps to eliminate glare and 

improve clarity of vision. 

The 12 layers of Hydro+ are applied to both 

sides of the lens. The different layers are 

highlighted below: 

Hydro+ Superhydrophobic 

Hydro+ oleophobic 

• Repels water, grease, grime and dust 

• Exceptional clarity due to 99% light transmission 

KEY BENEFITS

Better Vision, Inspired by Nature 

Honeycomb coating is designed to improve vision and reduce eye fatigue. 

It is named after the honeycomb structure that is found in beehives, 

which is known for its strength and ability to distribute weight evenly. 

Nature’s honeycomb pattern also plays an important role when 

applied as a unique coating to a lens surface. Jai Kudo Lenses’ 

Honeycomb coating is applied to a lens surface creating a matrix 

of tiny hexagonal cells. 

This coating helps to reduce unwanted light scatter and 

glare and improves the clarity of your vision. 

The benefits of the Honeycomb coating are experienced in 

both bright and low light level environments. 

By distributing light more evenly, this coating helps you see 

more clearly and comfortably. 

Helping to Reduce Harmful Blue Light 

Our Blue Shield coating helps to reduce the amount of harmful 

blue light from reaching the retina. 

Whilst the largest source of blue light comes 

from the sun, blue light is also emitted from 

artificial light sources and many frequently 

used electrical devices such as smart phones, 

tablets and monitors.
