De-blocking & Lens Prep
Immediately after polishing, rinse the lens and
the block thoroughly with hot water before
placing it back into the tray.
The amount of time should not exceed 15
minutes from the time when the lens leaves
the polisher to when the lens is de-blocked.
The person de-blocking and removing the tape
from the lenses should not be the same person
washing the lenses.
If the same person has to do both jobs, then they
must always wash their hands and change to a
new pair of gloves before washing lenses.
This is to avoid carrying over any adhesive from
the de-blocking and tape removal process.
