Ophthalmic lenses possess unique properties like specific gravity, tensile strength, safety, ABBE Value, thickness, pitch and motion just to name a few. And each ophthalmic lens material has its own attributes too like low price points, great drilling material, thinness, amazing clarity and optics, lightweight and cosmetic appeal. This course drills deeply and explores the unique properties of plus, minus, cylinder, multifocal, progressive, prism and a plethora of material choices offered today. Come and join us as we explore the DNA of ophthalmic lenses.
