 Perform a visual inspection of the optical (glass) lenses against applicable standards ( i.e. ISO10110 and MIL-PRF-13830) using a high intensity light source, or indirect lighting with eye loupes, and/or microscope to identify and find any surface defects (scratches, stains, chips, fractures, etc.) on the lens after polishing or coating. Use the applicable standard to determine if the depth/width of the defect is acceptable or rejected based on the drawing specification.
 Visual inspection of low/moderate (standard/commercial) grade surface quality requirements (80-50, 60-40 scratch dig equivalent) which are a commonly acceptable cosmetic standards.
