  2. Progressive lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_lens

    Modern sophisticated progressive lenses are designed asymmetrically for greater patient acceptance and include special designs to cater to many separate types of wearer application: for example progressive addition lenses may be designed with distance to intermediate or intermediate to near prescriptions specifically for use as an occupational ...

  3. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    In order, along the optic axis, the optical components consist of a first lens (the cornea—the clear part of the eye) that accounts for most of the optical power of the eye and accomplishes most of the focusing of light from the outside world; then an aperture (the pupil) in a diaphragm (the iris—the coloured part of the eye) that controls ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    Schachar—Ronald A. Schachar has proposed in 1992 what has been called a "rather bizarre geometric theory" [36] which claims that focus by the human lens is associated with increased tension on the lens via the equatorial zonules; that when the ciliary muscle contracts, equatorial zonular tension is increased, causing the central surfaces of ...

  5. Photochromic lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochromic_lens

    A photochromic eyeglass lens, part of the lens darkened after exposure to sunlight while the other part remained covered. A photochromic lens is an optical lens that darkens on exposure to light of sufficiently high frequency, most commonly ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In the absence of activating light, the lenses return to their clear state.

  6. Optician - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optician

    A dispensing optician is anyone who prepares, fits, and dispenses prescription lenses, spectacles, eyeglasses, contact lenses, or any other type of vision-correcting optical device to the intended user. They may interpret optical prescriptions issued by an ophthalmologist, optometrist, or physician for the lab optician who fabricates vision ...

  7. Aspheric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspheric_lens

    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 ).
