Company history
Contact Lens Precision Laboratories (CLPL), was founded in Cambridge in 1967. J. Keith Lomas, who had been the company's managing director since 1996, oversaw the acquisition of UltraVision in July 2003. Upon that acquisition, the company name was changed to the UltraVision CLPL group.
UltraVision CLPL opened a research-and-development office in 2007. Based in Cambridge, this office has developed various types of contact-lens technologies, including freeform surface modelling, toric lens design, and wavefront technologies, as well as lenses for persons suffering from keratoconus and corneal trauma.
Awards
In 2001, UltraVision's Spherical Aberration Management technology received the Award for Innovation in British Optics from the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers. In the same year, the company received a Technology Award from EFCLIN (the European Federation of Contact Lens Industry).
UltraVision CLPL has received The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation twice. First in 2006 for its Spherical Aberration Management and Wavefront technologies. And again in April 2010 for KeraSoft, UltraVision’s patented contact lens for irregular corneas.
