Does the job, basic display
It reliably confirms whether a lens blocks UV, which is all I really need. The display is a little utilitarian but the measurement itself is dependable.

Clinical overview
Product overview
The OpticsMED UV818WL is the chairside lens-quality-demo tool. When the dispenser places a UV-400 lens between the tester's UV light and the indicator, the indicator turns red — confirming the lens blocks UV. If the indicator turns green, the lens is also anti-radiation grade.
The visible, audience-friendly demonstration converts more premium-coating sales than any verbal explanation. The same device also detects counterfeit currency (a bonus feature for retail-front cash-handling).
