  2. Corrective lens - Wikipedia

    Reducing lens thickness Crude relationship between lens size and its thickness for the same radius of curvature. In addition to its smaller surface area, the small lens is also much thinner and so is much lighter. The greatest cosmetic improvement on lens thickness (and weight) benefits from choosing a frame that holds physically small lenses.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    Lenses are used as prosthetics for the correction of refractive errors such as myopia, hypermetropia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. (See corrective lens, contact lens, eyeglasses, intraocular lens.) Most lenses used for other purposes have strict axial symmetry; eyeglass lenses are only approximately symmetric.

    the thickness of the lines equals the thickness of the white spaces between lines and the thickness of the gap in the letter "C" the height and width of the optotype (letter) is five times the thickness of the line. Only the nine letters C, D, E, F, L, O, P, T, Z are used in the common Snellen chart.

  5. Progressive lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_lens

    Progressive lenses are corrective lenses used in eyeglasses to correct presbyopia and other disorders of accommodation. They are characterised by a gradient of increasing lens power, added to the wearer's correction for the other refractive errors.

  6. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses (spectacles) or contact lenses, and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the focal point forward or backward, effectively changing the power of the lens relative to ...

  7. Phakic intraocular lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phakic_intraocular_lens

    Phakic intraocular lenses are indicated for patients with high refractive errors when the usual laser options for surgical correction (LASIK and PRK) are contraindicated. [1] [2] Phakic IOLs are designed to correct high myopia ranging from −5 to −20 D if the patient has enough anterior chamber depth (ACD) of at least 3 mm. [3]
