ANSI Z80 (General Standards for Ophthalmic Optics)

ANSI Z80 is a set of technical standards developed by the American National Standards Institute that ensure the safety, quality, and performance of ophthalmic lenses and eyewear. It provides guidelines for measuring lens attributes like strength, optical clarity, and impact resistance, helping manufacturers produce reliable and consistent products. These standards help eye care professionals and consumers trust that eyewear meets certain safety and quality criteria, reducing risks such as lens failure or distortion. Overall, ANSI Z80 promotes high-quality standards in the design, manufacturing, and testing of ophthalmic optics.
