Importance of Quality Control in Lens Crafting

I recently attended a workshop on advanced lens crafting techniques and was struck by how vital quality control is in our field. From measuring the base curve to ensuring the proper fitting, every step influences the final product significantly. What methods are you all finding most effective for maintaining high standards in your workshop?

And quality control is like making a perfect sandwich; if you forget the pickles, it’s just not the same! I find keeping a checklist handy during the fitting process really tightens up our standards. What specific aspects do you focus on most during quality control?

Quality control is definitely crucial — I’ve found that double-checking the prescription details before any adjustment makes a big difference. It’s like proofreading; a small error can lead to a major headache later! @grace_elliot92, do you have a specific step in your fitting process where you see the most discrepancies?
