An astigmatic spectacle lens (synonym - spherocylindrical spectacle lens) is a spectacle lens that is used to correct astigmatism.
Astigmatism is a vision defect in which the cornea of the eye is irregularly shaped and cannot refract light correctly. Because of this, the image on the retina appears blurry.
An astigmatic lens has a cylindrical surface that compensates for corneal abnormalities and focuses light so that the image on the retina is clear.
Such a lens consists of two parts - spherical and cylindrical. The spherical part corrects myopia or farsightedness, and the cylindrical part corrects astigmatism.
Astigmatic lenses allow people with astigmatism to see clearly and improve quality of life by eliminating blurred vision. They are an integral part of modern glasses.
Title: Astigmatic spectacle lens - description and application
Astigmatic spectacle lenses (spherocylindrical spectacle lenses) are designed to correct vision defects associated with the shape of the cornea of the human eye. These lenses are commonly used to treat high astigmatism, in which the distance between the focal points of the image on the retina of the eye changes as the viewing angle changes. They are also used in the correction of other vision defects.
When choosing an astygamatic spectacle lens, the ophthalmologist takes into account various factors, such as the shape and size of the patient’s pupil, his age, environmental climatic conditions and other characteristics. There are several types of astymatic spectacle lenses, which differ in viewing angle and wavelength of the field of view. Lenses can be made from a variety of materials, such as acrylic or silicone, and have different coatings to improve clarity of vision, reduce glare and other optical problems.
The use of aseptic spectacle lenses is common among people of all ages and professions. They are often used in sports where high clarity of vision is needed to achieve successful results, as the eye is able to quickly adapt to changing lighting conditions.
An important feature of asptigamatic lenses is the ability to restore vision in full without additional interventions, such as contact lenses, bookmarks, insoles and other things. Lenses can also significantly reduce the need for further eye examinations by an ophthalmologist.
