  2. Base curve radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_curve_radius

    Base curve radius (BCR) or simply base curve (BC) is the measure of an important parameter of a lens in optometry. On a spectacle lens, it is the flatter curvature of the front surface. On a contact lens it is the curvature of the back surface and is sometimes referred to as the back central optic radius (BCOR). Typical values for a contact ...

    Diameter and base curve radius. The parameters specified in a contact lens prescription may include: Brand name; Material; Base curve radius (BC, BCR) Diameter (D, OAD) Optical power in diopters (dpt) Center thickness (CT) Prescriptions for contact lenses and glasses may be similar but are not interchangeable.

    Two curves in the plane intersecting at a point p are said to have: 0th-order contact if the curves have a simple crossing (not tangent). 1st-order contact if the two curves are tangent. 2nd-order contact if the curvatures of the curves are equal. Such curves are said to be osculating. 3rd-order contact if the derivatives of the curvature are ...

    Stresses in a contact area loaded simultaneously with a normal and a tangential force. Stresses were made visible using photoelasticity.. Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_clock

    Lens clock. A lens clock is a mechanical dial indicator that is used to measure the dioptric power of a lens.It is a specialized version of a spherometer.A lens clock measures the curvature of a surface, but gives the result as an optical power in diopters, assuming the lens is made of a material with a particular refractive index.

  7. Toric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toric_lens

    A torus results when a circle with radius r rotates around an axis lying in the same plane as the circle (here the z axis) at a distance R from the centre of the circle.. A torus is the surface of revolution resulting when a circle with radius r rotates around an axis lying within the same plane as the circle, at a distance R from the circle's centre (see figure at right).
