Cataracts affect patients of all ages, but hit senior citizens the hardest. In fact, cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss among adults age 55 years and older. And when medication and extremely strong glasses don't rectify the problem, physicians surgically replace the scarred natural lens with an artificial one made of plastic. Most firms making these interocular lenses invest about $240,000 for a line of lathes and milling machines. That gave Gary Goins, president of IOL International of America, Largo, Fla., an idea. He combined all the machining capabilities needed to turn out high-quality interocular lens into a single machine he dubbed the Optical Generator. It costs about one-third the price of the separate machine tools that make the same lenses.
