2200 Modified Lens Surfacing System. Modified surfacing allows for a simple, affordable, and compact machine that produces digital lenses at minimal cost. It only requires a few simple steps using Fast Grind technology to produce digital high-definition progressives and other lens types to prescription with controlled thickness in 12 minutes, according to Super Systems. Fast Grind offers the quickest turnaround time of any system currently on the market that processes lenses. Lenses are provided pre-blocked to eliminate expensive equipment, valuable time and costly mistakes.
