Eyewear; Optometry
Lens which causes parallel incident light to diverge from a virtual focus. Also known as minus-power lens.
Abbe number
Eyewear; Optometry
Mathematical expression for determining the correction for chromatic aberration of an optical material of component.
Astigmatic difference
Eyewear; Optometry
Vertex power in the second principal meridian minus that in the first principal meridian.
