Precal is a lens calculation process which predetermines the thickness of a glazed lens, based on frame shape, prescription and centration. Precal calculates the minimum centre thickness to which a lens can be surfaced to provide the thickness appropriate to the lens/ mount combination. The Precal calculation will only be applied when specified by the customer or when stock lenses cannot be used due to the frame type e.g. semi-rimless (supra) or rimless mounts.

40 OPTICAL TOLERANCES
Tolerances on the power of lenses(1) The tolerances apply to the back vertex power and should be measured at the optical centre of a single vision lens, distance centre of a bifocal or the distance checking circle of a varifocal lens. The tolerance of the power for each meridian is determined by the highest absolute meridian power. Use column A to check that the meridians are within tolerance (e.g. single vision lens power S -4.75 C -2.25, highest meridian is -7.00. The tolerance on -7.00 is ± 0.12; tolerance on -4.75 is ± 0.12). To check that cylinder power is within tolerance, use column B (e.g. single vision lens power S -4.75 C -2.25, highest meridian is -7.00, cylinder is -2.25 and tolerance is ± 0.18).
