what are the ophthalmic lenses?

An ophthalmic lens is a lens for correcting vision in a person with visual impairment where the focal point of the eyes does not hit the retina. Lenses can also be used to solve problems like astigmatism.

The lens is located in the eye. By changing its shape, the lens changes the focal distance of the eye. In other words, it focuses the light rays that pass through it (and onto the retina) in order to create clear images of objects that are positioned at various distances.

crystalline lens, lens of the eye, lens - biconvex transparent body situated behind the iris in the eye; its role (along with the cornea) is to focuses light on the retina.

Multifocal contact lenses are designed with a gradual transition between a prescription for close reading on one end and a prescription for normal distance viewing on the other. They are very similar to progressive eyeglasses.

HD lenses are made using digital computer technology based on a digital scan of your eyes. So the lenses are customized precisely for your one-of-a-kind eyes. HD lenses, or digital lens technology, are considered one of the most important innovations in prescription eyeglasses in the past 100 years**.

Probably the most important lenses in binoculars are the convex lenses. These lenses make small (distant) objects look bigger (closer). Some binoculars also use fine concave lenses to help focus images more clearly for your eyes.

Traditional computer reading glasses contain single vision lenses. The entire lens is the strength that you need for comfortable reading at an intermediate computer distance. ... Like all progressive lenses, these are multifocal lenses, without lines, that transition between near, intermediate, and distance vision.

A monocle is a type of corrective lens used to correct or enhance the visual perception in only one eye. It consists of a circular lens, generally with a wire ring around the circumference that can be attached to a string or wire.

A toric lens is a contact lens that's shaped in a particular way. Standard contact lenses have a spherical surface: think of a slice of the side of a beach ball. ... The shape of toric contact lenses creates different refractive, or focusing, powers on the vertical and horizontal orientations.

Reading glasses, also known as plus lenses, are convex in shape. They move objects farther away and reduce accommodation (focusing effort). Distance glasses, also known as minus lenses, are concave in shape. They move objects closer and increase accommodation.

Bifocal contact lenses are lenses that offer two different prescriptions in a single lens. One prescription is for close reading, and the other for normal, distance vision.

Single-vision lenses are also used for reading glasses. Reading glasses may either be prescription or over-the-counter. ... Unlike single vision, bifocals and progressives are multifocal lenses that have more than one point of focus, such as distance and near.

How a cataract forms. The lens, where cataracts form, is positioned behind the colored part of your eye (iris). The lens focuses light that passes into your eye, producing clear, sharp images on the retina — the light-sensitive membrane in the eye that functions like the film in a camera.

Today, you can select from many bifocal and trifocal lens designs, depending on your age and visual needs. There are even special bifocals and trifocals designed for glasses for computer work and other tasks that take place at the intermediate range.

A toric lens is a contact lens that's shaped in a particular way. Standard contact lenses have a spherical surface: think of a slice of the side of a beach ball. A torus, in contrast, is a geometric shape that looks like a doughnut (the ring variety). A toric lens is shaped like a slice of the side of this doughnut.

All modern scleral lenses are made with highly breathable, rigid gas permeable lens materials. So though scleral lenses cover the entire cornea, plenty of oxygen reaches the front surface of the eye to keep it healthy and comfortable.
