Lumetrics develops and manufactures high precision thickness measurement and gauging systems for a wide range of medical, ophthalmic, and industrial applications.

Started in 2002 and based in Rochester NY, the company licensed thin film measurement technology from Eastman Kodak and created OptiGauge, a new approach to non-contact optical measurement of multi-layer materials that is fast, accurate, flexible, and scalable to almost any QA laboratory or manufacturing operation.

Lumetrics' OptiGauge is ideal for measurement of a wide range of materials, including:

• Flat films and roll stock
• Tubing, including catheters, dimension stock, capillary tubes, and angioplasty balloons
• Glass products such as automotive windows, float glass, optical flats and windows, and ampoules
• Ophthalmics, contact lenses, spherical and aspherical single and multiple-layer components

OptiGauge systems are in daily use at Fortune 500 companies in the medical, pharmaceutical, food packaging, eye-care products and coatings industries.

In 2012 Lumetrics acquired key assets of the former WaveFront Sciences Company from Abbott. This business transaction allowed Lumetrics to expand its repertoire of services and grow its business substantially.

Two of the three new assets help Lumetrics in one of its main areas of business – that of assisting lens-makers with quality control. The new assets include the ClearWave and CrystalWave products, critical in the ophthalmics industry for the production of contact lenses and intraocular lenses. With these acquisitions, Lumetrics will now be able to help contact lens makers and lens-implant makers reach unprecedented levels of precision. The ultimate goal is to help manufacturers produce consistently clear, comfortable, and reliable contact and IOL lenses.

With the third product, the CLAS-2D sensor, Lumetrics has the ability to monitor quality in several new arenas, most notably that of laser light. The sensor can measure, align, and direct laser light, allowing Lumetrics to work with everything from microscopic optics to satellite communications. These products are in use in major government and university labs as well as businesses throughout the world.
