With over 300 golfers, three golf courses, and a tremendous amount of charity, this years tournament was better than ever. Mother nature provided her own hook with some afternoon thunderstorms, but the mood of the tournament was not dampened (even if some golfers were). Esco's theme this year was "Rising to new heights" which translated into a drone drop delivery for golfers on each course. On select holes on each course, a specially modified quadcopter drone dropped a parachute containing a Esco goodie bag for each foursome. Esco also sponsored the popular "Beat the Giant" contest which players had to get closest...

Having covered the basic types of lens configurations, as well as, the mechanical parameters used to define a lens shape, we will now discuss how opticians and fabricators characterize the precision of lens surfaces.

Now that we’ve covered the basic type of lens configurations and how, by design, lenses either converge (focus) or diverge light, we can begin to explore the various characteristics that define their physical shape. Overall, there are many parameters that govern the performance of a lens. As previously discussed, it is the specific optical properties of a given material, namely its refractive index and dispersion, that influence light’s behavior when passing between mediums. Opticians build upon these carefully controlled properties by generating highly precise curvature (radii) across the surface of their lenses. By combining this curvature in relation to a...
