    This document provides information about functional materials for vision correction. It discusses common refractive errors like near-sightedness and far-sightedness. It explains how concave and convex lenses can correct these issues. The document also covers topics like refraction tests, materials used for lenses, thickness management techniques, and components of eyeglass prescriptions including sphere, cylinder and axis.

    HOW DOES EYE WORK?


    PRIMARY REFRACTIVE ERRORS
    Near-sightedness Far-sightedness

     Distant objects appear blurry.  Nearer objects appear blurry.


     Image forms in front of retina due to:  Image forms behind retina due to:
    • Elongation of eye ball • Compression of eye ball
    • Rigid eye lens (ciliary muscles) • Rigid eye lens (ciliary muscles)

    WHAT DOES CONTACT LENS NUMBER MEAN?
    WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF?
    Glasses materials for lenses come in four types of plastic:
    polyethylene
    Rivex
    Polycarbonate
    high-index polymers
    glass.
    PLASTIC EYEGLASSES!

     A fantastic material for optical (glasses) lenses is polycarbonate, a form of


    plastic that can be made transparent and easily molded. They are also
    impact-resistant, making them a fantastic option for children (or adults!) prone
    to accidents.
     Trivex glasses lenses are impact-resistant urethane-based pre-polymer plastic,
    much like polycarbonate.
     Trivex and polycarbonate lenses are equally impact-resistant and
    completely UV-protective.
    THICKNESS MANAGEMENT!
     High-index polymers!
    This kind of lens polymer frequently contains sulfur. These lenses have
    a greater refractive index thanks to the atoms of this strong element, which
    results in a narrower lens.
    Despite their smaller size, high-index lenses are heavier due to the higher
    density of the plastics used to manufacture them.
    SPHERE, CYLINDER AND AXIS
    Sphere (SPH) Cylinder (CYL)

     Indicates lens power to correct  Denotes lens power to correct


    nearsightedness/farsightedness Astigmatism
     Measured in diopters (D)  Cornea is irregularly shaped causing
    blurred/distorted vision.
     If (–) sign, nearsighted
     CYL combines multiple focal points into
     If (+) sign, farsighted
    one focal point on a certain axis.
     AXIS indicates degree and direction of
    astigmatism.
