  2. CR-39 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CR-39

    A piece of CR-39 manufactured for radiation detection. Poly (allyl diglycol carbonate) (PADC) is a plastic commonly used in the manufacture of eyeglass lenses alongside the material PMMA ( polymethyl methacrylate ). The monomer is allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC). The term CR-39 technically refers to the ADC monomer, but is more commonly used to ...

  3. Compound refractive lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_refractive_lens

    Lenses of this type have been made from silicon, plastic, and lithium. To address the challenge with absorption in the lens, each prism in the saw-tooth lens can be exchanged for a column of smaller prisms, hence removing phase shifts of 2π that do not contribute to refraction but add absorption.

  4. Dioptre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre

    The main benefit of using optical power rather than focal length is that the thin lens formula has the object distance, image distance, and focal length all as reciprocals. Additionally, when relatively thin lenses are placed close together their powers approximately add. Thus, a thin 2.0-dioptre lens placed close to a thin 0.5-dioptre lens yields almost the same focal length as a single 2.5 ...

  5. Lensmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lensmeter

    13 – Prism scale knob. A lensmeter or lensometer (sometimes even known as focimeter or vertometer), [1] [2] is an optical instrument used in ophthalmology. It is mainly used by optometrists and opticians to measure the back or front vertex power of a spectacle lens and verify the correct prescription in a pair of eyeglasses, to properly ...

  6. Aspheric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspheric_lens

    Aspheric lenses are also sometimes used for eyeglasses. Aspheric eyeglass lenses allow for crisper vision than standard "best form" lenses, mostly when looking in other directions than the lens optical center. Moreover, the reduction of the magnification effect of a lens may help with prescriptions that have different powers in the 2 eyes ( anisometropia ). Not related to the optical quality ...

  7. History of optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_optics

    History of optics. Modern ophthalmic lens making machine. Optics began with the development of lenses by the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians, followed by theories on light and vision developed by ancient Greek philosophers, and the development of geometrical optics in the Greco-Roman world. The word optics is derived from the Greek term ...
