TYPES OF SINGLE VISION LENSES
Spherical Lenses:
Spherical lenses are the traditional type of lenses used in eyewear. They have a uniform curvature across the entire surface, resulting in a consistent lens thickness from the center to the edges. While spherical lenses are effective for correcting common vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia), they may cause distortion and aberrations, especially in higher prescriptions or larger frames.
Aspheric Lenses:
Aspheric lenses are designed with a more complex curvature that gradually changes from the center to the edges of the lens. This unique design allows for a thinner and lighter lens profile while minimizing distortion and aberrations. Aspheric lenses provide sharper peripheral vision and improved clarity, particularly in higher prescriptions or for individuals with astigmatism. They also offer better cosmetic appearance, as they can be made flatter and less noticeable in eyeglass frames. Overall, aspheric lenses offer enhanced visual performance and comfort compared to traditional spherical lenses.
ADD-ONS
Enhancements available for single vision lenses:
- Anti-Reflective Coating: Reduces glare from artificial light sources and reflections on the lens surfaces, improving visual clarity, reducing eye strain, and enhancing the appearance of the lenses.
- Scratch-Resistant Coating: Adds a protective layer to the lens surface, making them more resistant to scratches, abrasions, and damage from everyday wear and tear.
- UV Protection: Blocks harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, helping to prevent eye damage and reduce the risk of eye conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration.
- Blue Light Blocking: Filters out a portion of blue light emitted by digital screens and LED lights, reducing eye strain and fatigue associated with prolonged screen time and improving sleep quality.
- Photochromic or Transition Lenses: Lenses that darken when exposed to UV light outdoors and fade back to clear indoors, providing convenient light adaptation and protection from both sunlight and harmful UV rays.
- High-Index Materials: Thinner and lighter lens materials that reduce lens thickness and weight, providing a more cosmetically appealing and comfortable wearing experience, especially for higher prescriptions.
- Polarized Lenses: Filters out glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snow, and roads, enhancing visual comfort, reducing eye strain, and improving contrast and clarity, particularly in bright outdoor conditions.
- Tinted Lenses: Colored lenses that provide additional light filtration and contrast enhancement, making them suitable for specific activities such as sports, driving, or outdoor leisure.
- Custom Lens Designs: Specialty lens designs tailored to individual visual needs, such as lenses for computer use (computer vision syndrome), reading glasses, occupational lenses, or sports-specific lenses.
- Anti-Fog Coating: Prevents fogging of the lenses by creating a hydrophilic surface that disperses moisture, ensuring clear vision in humid or temperature-changing environments.
These add-ons can enhance the performance, comfort, and protection provided by single vision lenses, allowing wearers to customize their eyewear to suit their lifestyle, vision needs, and personal preferences.
How its made
- Single vision lenses are crafted through a meticulous manufacturing process to ensure precise optical quality and accuracy. Here’s a brief description of how single vision lenses are made:
- Lens Blank Selection: The process begins with selecting high-quality lens blanks made from materials such as plastic (CR-39), polycarbonate, or high-index plastics. These blanks come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different prescriptions and frame styles.
- Lens Surfacing: The selected lens blanks undergo surfacing, where the front and back surfaces are carefully shaped and polished to the exact prescription requirements using computer-controlled machinery. This step ensures that the lenses have the correct curvature and thickness to provide optimal vision correction.
- Lens Coating (Optional): Depending on the wearer’s needs, single vision lenses may undergo additional coating processes to enhance their performance and durability. These coatings may include anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare, scratch-resistant coatings to protect against scratches, and UV coatings to block harmful ultraviolet rays.
- Quality Inspection: After surfacing and coating (if applicable), the lenses undergo rigorous quality inspection to ensure they meet industry standards for optical clarity, prescription accuracy, and surface quality. Any defects or imperfections are identified and corrected to ensure the highest level of visual performance.
- Lens Edging: Once the lenses pass inspection, they are carefully edged to fit precisely into the chosen eyeglass frames. This process involves shaping the lenses to match the frame’s size and shape, as well as cutting any notches or bevels required for proper alignment and mounting.
- Final Inspection: Before the lenses are fitted into frames and dispensed to the wearer, they undergo a final inspection to verify that they meet all specifications and quality standards. This ensures that the wearer receives single vision lenses that provide clear, comfortable vision and optimal correction for their prescription.
Overall, the manufacturing process of single vision lenses combines advanced technology with skilled craftsmanship to produce lenses that deliver superior vision correction and optical performance.
