R & D capabilities
Darwin R&D team has created a number of firsts in the past 20 years.
Darwin is the first company to successfully develop and mass-produce ophthalmic PC lense with domestic technology in Taiwan.
The photochromic lens developed in 2008 is the first in fading speed.
The photochromic anti-fog goggle developed in 2011. It is the first anti-fog specification that can pass N 、 K and also pass the impact resistance test of the U.S. military standard.
Darwin is the first company that has successfully developed a long-lasting PC anti-fog ophthalmic lens (non-maintenance type) in 2016
Advanced PC ophthalmic lens production technology requires the integration of multiple technologies, such as:
- Material science
- Optometry
- Optical lens design
- Injection molding
- Thin film deposition
- Hard coating
- Mold & insert development and design
