  2. Vertex distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_distance

    Vertex distance is the distance between the back surface of a corrective lens, i.e. glasses (spectacles) or contact lenses, and the front of the cornea. Increasing or decreasing the vertex distance changes the optical properties of the system, by moving the focal point forward or backward, effectively changing the power of the lens relative to ...

    S2=vertex of the second optical surface; SH=distance from the vertex of the first optical surface to the primary principal plane; S′H′=distance from the vertex of the second optical surface to the secondary principal plane; SF=distance from the surface of the first optical surface to the front focal point, called the front focal distance; S ...

  4. Eye chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_chart

    An example of the Landolt C eye chart (also known as the Japanese eye chart.). Numerous types of eye charts exist and are used in various situations. For example, the Snellen chart is designed for use at 6 meters or 20 feet, and is thus appropriate for testing distance vision, while the ETDRS chart is designed for use at 4 meters. [16]

  5. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    BVD Back vertex distance is the distance between the back of the spectacle lens and the front of the cornea (the front surface of the eye). This is significant in higher prescriptions (usually beyond ±4.00D) as slight changes in the vertex distance for in this range can cause a power to be delivered to the eye other than what was prescribed.

    where R is the radius of curvature of the optical surface. The sag S ( r ) is the displacement along the optic axis of the surface from the vertex, at distance r {\displaystyle r} from the axis. A good explanation both of this approximate formula and the exact formula can be found here .

  9. Radius of curvature (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_curvature_(optics)

    The sign convention for the optical radius of curvature is as follows: If the vertex lies to the left of the center of curvature, the radius of curvature is positive. If the vertex lies to the right of the center of curvature, the radius of curvature is negative. Thus when viewing a biconvex lens from the side, the left surface radius of ...
