  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 ...

  4. Lensmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lensmeter

    A lensmeter or lensometer (sometimes even known as focimeter or vertometer), [1] [2] is an optical instrument used in ophthalmology. It is mainly used by optometrists and opticians to measure the back or front vertex power of a spectacle lens and verify the correct prescription in a pair of eyeglasses , to properly orient and mark uncut lenses ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Cardinal point (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Positive signs indicate distances to the right of the corresponding vertex, and negative to the left. [4] For a thin lens in air, the principal planes both lie at the location of the lens. The point where they cross the optical axis is sometimes misleadingly called the optical centre of the lens. For a real lens the principal planes do not ...

  8. Anti-facial recognition mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-facial_recognition_mask

    Person wearing a mask, glasses and a cap. An anti-facial recognition mask is a mask which can be worn to confuse facial recognition software. This type of mask is designed to thwart the surveillance of people by confusing the biometric data. There are many different types of masks which are used to trick facial recognition technology.

  9. Optical lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_lens_design

    Optical lens design is the process of designing a lens to meet a set of performance requirements and constraints, including cost and manufacturing limitations. Parameters include surface profile types (spherical, aspheric, holographic, diffractive, etc.), as well as radius of curvature, distance to the next surface, material type and optionally tilt and decenter.
