Custom Optical Lenses - How Do They Work?



Custom optical lenses are one of the great breakthroughs in vision correction technology that has improved greatly over the last century. The invention of lenses with a unique curvature profile was made possible by a Swiss optometrist. He developed a solution to an age old problem, which is that the natural curvature of the human eye, combined with the high stress of wearing contact lenses that distort its natural curvature.


Custom lenses are designed to correct your vision problems with respect to your eye prescription and eye color. The curvature profile is a combination of factors such as the size and shape of the lens, the refractive index of the lens, the insertion depth of the lens, the wavefront power of the lens, the wavefront intensity, and the atmospheric pressure of the eye at the time of the test. All of these components work together to give you a lens that corrects your vision for near and far sight. There is a complex mathematical equation involved, but I will not go into it here.

The custom lens is fitted to your cornea (the front covering of the eye). The shape of the lens and the position of the focus of the lens at any given time is referred to as the focal length. This is measured in millimeters and is termed the "focal length". When the focal length is in focus, the light rays that enter the eye must come straight to the retina and then go on to the brain.

Once the light comes to the retina, it is converted into nerve impulses that are sent to the brain. From the brain, the light rays hit an area of the retina called the macula, which is responsible for the central vision in the eye. The macula is also responsible for a part of the glasses' central vision. The retinas in the rear of the eye to receive the light rays and send signals to the brain that tells the eyes to turn toward the light source. From there, the light reaches the eye through the pupil, which focuses the light as it enters the eye.


Custom optical lenses differ slightly from traditional "normal" lenses because they contain a thin layer of gas called optically refined glass. This gas reduces aberrations caused by atmospheric distortion and improves focus. Standardize your lens system by starting with a standard prescription lens. You can also adjust your lens system to suit your particular needs by customizing the size of the exit pupil and the amount of aberrations.

Customized contact lenses are also becoming popular for those with astigmatism, near-sightedness or farsightedness. These special lenses are made in a very different way than standard eyeglasses. They allow the wearer to see better, clearer and with more distance. Customized contact lenses are still available through some optical stores. The internet is the best place to find an extensive selection of custom eyeglasses. Find more info at this link - https://www.thefreedictionary.com/optical+lens
