Spectacle Lens Tint Types

This is where the external lab codes for spectacle lens tint types are entered. Any spectacle lens tint types with an external lab code entered here will be sent to the tint type area (field number 113 for a right lens or 134 for a left lens) on the DVI lab order entry screen. You can also enter "IN HOUSE" in the external lab code field and no tint type will be sent to the lab (to be done in-house instead). If no external lab code is entered, then the description field gets sent to the special instruction (also called the service description) area. Colored glass tints are handled differently and will be discussed further in section two under Specific Lens Setup: Tints. See section two for further information on coded tints setup.

(See appendix A-1 for illustration of DVI lab order entry screen)

The following is a list of some of the basic external lab codes currently supported by the DVI lab order entry computer (There may be more codes available). You should discuss the various options available with your own DVI laboratory.

(Note: The SAPIENT description can be anything, but the DVI code must match)
