PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate)

The Lagado PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) contact lens blanks are made from ultra-pure methyl methacrylate monomer. The polymer is highly crosslinked for stability, solvent resistance and ease of machining. Half-inch precision ground blanks are available in a number of tints. PMMA blanks are available in 12.7mm and 17.0mm diameters. The 17.0mm blank is machined with a 1/2" shoulder for blocking.
