:Classification of lenses
1, glass lenses
Glass lenses, with more scratch-resistant properties than other materials, but relatively heavy weight is also heavy, its refractive index is relatively high: ordinary piece of 1.523 (white, gray, tea), ultra-thin piece of 1.7 (red, white), 1.8 (red, white, purple), 1.9 (red, white) up to 2.0. Up to 2.0, but the highest refractive index currently used for eyeglass lenses is 1.9. The main raw material for glass lenses is optical glass. Its refractive index is higher than that of _fashionable lenses, so glass lenses are thinner than resin lenses for the same prescription. Glass lenses have better light transmission and mechanical and chemical properties, constant refractive index, stable physical and chemical properties. There is no color of the lens called optical white (clear optical lens), tinted piece of the pink piece called Cruxite lens (Cruxite optical lens), in the incandescent lamp was light purple-red, in the fluorescent lamp was light greenish-blue, called the Kes lens (Croo kes optical lens), Kes lens can absorb ultraviolet rays, on the bright light has a slightly Croo kes optical lens can absorb ultraviolet rays and has a slight absorption effect on bright light. Croo kes optical lens has only one manufacturer in China.
Glass lenses have superior optical properties, are not easily scratched, and have a high refractive index. The higher the refractive index, the thinner the lens. However, glass is fragile and the material is heavy, so when choosing frames, you should try to choose smaller frames so as to reduce the weight of the lenses and ensure the comfort of wearing them.
2, resin lenses
Resin is a kind of secretion from many kinds of plants, especially the hydrocarbons (_记饣物)of cedar plants. Because of its special chemical structure and can be used as a latex paint and adhesive and is valued. It is a mixture of many kinds of _latte swelling plating compounds, so it has different melting points. Resin can be categorized into two types: natural resin and synthetic resin. There are many kinds of resins, which are widely used in people's light and heavy industries, and can be seen in daily life, such as plastics, fashionable glasses, paints, etc. Resin lenses are made of resin as raw material. Resin lenses are lenses that are synthesized and polished using resin as the raw material for chemical processing.
3, space lenses
Space lenses are the most impact resistant lenses in the world at present, which can effectively prevent the shattering of the lenses during intense exercise, and the impact resistance is 10 times that of the ordinary resin lenses, and 60 times that of the glass lenses;
4, special lenses
In 1907, Owen Aves put forward for the first time the idea of progressive multifocal lenses, which marked a new type of special lenses, and the first time that a new type of special lenses were introduced, which was the first time in the world. It marked the birth of a new concept of special lenses for vision correction. The design of these specialty lenses was inspired by the shape of an elephant's trunk. By increasing the curvature of the front surface of the lens continuously from top to bottom, the refractive power changes accordingly, i.e., the refractive power increases gradually and continuously from the distal zone, which is located in the upper part of the lens, until the desired near refraction is reached in the near zone, which is located in the bottom part of the lens.
