Specific Spectacle Lens: Coatings

This is where external lab codes for specific spectacle lens coatings are entered. Any specific coatings with an external lab code entered here will be sent to the coating area (field number 115 for a right lens or 136 for a left lens) on the DVI lab order entry screen. All external lab codes require either a preceding or trailing minus ("-"). This tells the lab that the coating is a factory coating (trailing minus) or to be applied in the lab (preceding minus). Each DVI order entry coating field will allow one factory and one lab coating code to be entered per eye. If more codes are sent, they will be put in the special instruction (also called the service description) area. External lab codes entered at this level will override any lab codes entered at the base spectacle lens coating screen.
