Plastic materials, such as polycarbonate and CR-39, have replaced glass in some lens designs due to being lighter, more impact-resistant, and more affordable. These materials can still provide excellent optical quality for eyeglass lenses.

Example application of concave and convex lenss?

Compared to a uniform thickness lense, concave is where the lense is thinner towards the center of the focal point of the lense than at the thicker edge; convex is much like a magnifying glass where the lense is thicker near the center focal point than at the thinner edges.


How do bend light?

lenses bend light by having the light pass through the glass(or whatever material) of the lense in which the light will slow down. As the light enters the glass the very first part of the ray will slow down alowing other parts to catch up. This makes the light bend towards the normal (perpendicular to side of glass). As the light leaves the glass the oposite occurs. The light that leaves the glass goes faster leaving other parts behind and bending it away form the normal. How much the light bends depends on the shape of the lense the material of the lense and the angle that the light comes in at.
