ABSTRACT:
A method and related system and article provides a lens blank and block assembly capable of being mounted in any of a surface generating machine, a finishing apparatus and an edging machine without requiring re-blocking of the lens in order to compensate for axis shifts. The method and associated system utilizes a controller which takes data inputted to it in the form of prescription information and a frame opening shape and converts it into two sets of machine operating data together used by a computer to allow the surface to be generated on the blank so as to be readily shaped edgewise according to a selected frame pattern by simply the mounting blank and block assembly in the edging machine thereafter. The blank is separated from the block assembly and readily inserted into a selected glass frame.
