  2. Fresnel lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens

    In some lenses, the curved surfaces are replaced with flat surfaces, with a different angle in each section. Such a lens can be regarded as an array of prisms arranged in a circular fashion with steeper prisms on the edges and a flat or slightly convex center. In the first (and largest) Fresnel lenses, each section was actually a separate prism.

    The borosilicate glass Schott BK7 (glass code 517642) is an extremely common crown glass, used in precision lenses. Borosilicates contain about 10% boric oxide, have good optical and mechanical characteristics, and are resistant to chemical and environmental damage.

    When the prism is placed in front of the non-deviating eye, the eye under the prism will move in and the fellow eye move out in the same way discussed above due to Herring's law. However similarly to the response given by a patient with central suppression, the fellow eye will not make a fusional convergence movement back in as the image ...
