Essilor has announced it is discontinuing some hardcoat products in its Ormex 1.56 mid-index line as of March 27th.
These products are:
Ormex single vision semi finished
Ormex aspheric st28
Ormex Adaptar
Ormex Adaptar Transitions III
Ormex Varilux Comfort
Ormex Essilor Natural

As the 1.60 and 1.67 index become available in more product we are processing fewer mid-index products. So this announcements by Essilor is not surprising and we expect to see more mid-index product being discontinued.
