 Ophthalmic Lenses

Definition
 lens for correcting vision in a person with
visual impairments or disorder
 lens use to correct refractive error
 it may be in the form of plastic or glass lens
 Ophthalmic Lenses

History
 The word lens comes from the Latin name
of the lentil, because a double-convex
lens is lentil-shaped.
 The genus of the lentil plant is Lens, and
the most commonly eaten species is Lens
culinaris.
 Ophthalmic Lenses
 The lentil plant also gives its name to a
geometric figure.
