Can spherical abberation be corrected by combination of lenses?
Wiki User

Spherical aberration can be minimized by several methods: Changing curvature of both surfaces of a lens allows sharp focus at a particular distance. Aspheric lenses - i.e. lenses with a special non-spherical profile, is another.

How are nearsightedness and farsightedness corrected?
We use corrective lenses in spectacles. Near sight is corrected with diverging lenses and far sightedness with converging lenses.
How do you correct for myopia?
Eye care professionals most commonly correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. It may also be corrected by refractive surgery, though there are cases of associated side effects. The corrective lenses have a negative optical power.
What is the combination of lenses at the viewing end of an optical instrument called?
The combination of lenses at the viewing end of an optical instrument is called the eyepiece. The purpose of the eyepiece is to magnify the image formed by the objective lens or mirror, allowing the viewer to see a larger and more detailed image.
Are objective lenses concave or convex?
Objective lenses are convex lenses.
Who invented the lenses?
who invented the bifocal lenses

What is the difference between 1.50 standard and 1.57 mid index lenses?
Standard index 1.5 lenses Standard index 1.5 lenses are the basic CR-39 lenses, come with anti-scratch hard coating, and are shatter-resistant, suitable for spherical power +/- 2.00 or below, and cylindrical power +/- 1.50 or below. Index 1.57 mid index spherical lenses Index 1.57 spherical lenses are with anti-scratch hard coating. This higher index lens greatly reduces the thickness of the lens edge. This is suitable for spherical power of +/- 4.00 or below with cylindrical power +/- 2.00 or below. Index 1.57 mid index aspherical lenses Index 1.57 aspherical lenses are even thinner and lighter than 1.57 spherical lenses. These lenses come with anti-scratch and anti-reflective coating, greatly reducing the image distortion, suitable for spherical power of +/- 4.00 or below, and cylindrical power of +/- 2.00 or below. High index would be anything greater than the 1.57 lenses, like 1.61 or 1.67 and so on. Each having a degree of benefits and drawbacks unique to it's making.
What is the cause of the defect that exist in all single lenses?
defect that exist in all single lenses:1. Spherical aberration2. Chromatic aberration
Astigmatism Correction Possible With Toric Contacts?
Astigmatism is a hereditary condition, but it can also be caused by eye injury or cataract surgery. Astigmatism may occur in one eye or both and results when the cornea is not properly shaped. A healthy cornea will be round in shape; however with astigmatism, the cornea will be irregular in shape. An astigmatism prevents light entering through the cornea to focus properly on the back wall of the eye. People with astigmatism experience blurred vision correlating to the degree of irregularity in the cornea; however, the condition will often be seen in combination with near or far sightednessThere are various treatments available for astigmatism, including surgery, glasses and contacts. Contacts are not as invasive as surgery and not appearance altering like glasses, making them an attractive option for many people.The type of contacts your optometrist will recommend depends largely on the degree of astigmatism you have. Mild astigmatisms may be corrected with gas permeable standard, or spherical, contacts. These lenses are made from a more rigid material and are able to create the even circular shape needed to correct the wearer's vision.Specialized astigmatism contacts are also known as toric lenses. For those with moderate to severe astigmatism, toric lenses will be recommended by your optometrist. Unlike spherical lenses for patients with mild or no astigmatism, toric lenses designed to stay in place and correct the irregular corneal shape. These lenses are weighted with a top and bottom. Unlike standard spherical lenses that will move and twist as the wearer blinks, toric lenses have a heavier bottom. Regardless of how they are placed on the eye, the heavier end will move to the bottom of your eye and the lens will stay in place. Once in place, toric lenses will also reshape the cornea, rather than conform to it.Due to their specialized features, toric lenses are generally more expensive than spherical lenses; however the benefits outweigh the costs. Unfortunately, not all astigmatism can be corrected with contact lenses. If you suffer from astigmatism, consult your optometrist to see if toric lenses are right for you.
Is microscopic lens corrected for chromatic aberrations?
Not all microscopic lenses are corrected for chromatic aberrations. Many times they will be for use in some places like laboratories and similar.
What is an eye defect?
are conditions where a person cannot see distinctly and comfortably. There are three common eye defects, and they are(i) myopia or near-sightedness, (ii) Hypermetropia or far-sightedness, and (iii) Presbyopia. These defects are corrected by the use of suitable spherical lenses.
How is math used in a microscope?
The focal lengths of the various lenses are determined through very precise mathematical calculations so that the lenses act together to give the greatest magnification with the least spherical aberration.
How can I have my astigmatism corrected?
Contact lenses for correction of astigmatism are generally either gas permeable lenses, which are semi-hard lenses, or toric soft contacts. There is also a type called Orthokeratology lenses which are worn at night to help reshape the eye. Your Opthamologist will know they best type of you or if contacts are even the right way to go.
Poor vision results when the image formed by the lens of the eye is in sharpest focus in front of or behind the retina of the eye This can be corrected by?
A common way of correcting this problem is the use of corrective lenses in glasses or contact lenses
How do you correct for myopia?
Eye care professionals most commonly correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. It may also be corrected by refractive surgery, though there are cases of associated side effects. The corrective lenses have a negative optical power.
What is the one advantage of combination of lenses?
Every lens causes color aberration. (called dispersion). By using a combination of lenses it can be reduced.
What is an instrument that use a combination of lenses to produce enlarged images of tiny objects?
An instrument that uses a combination of lenses to produce enlarged images of tiny objects is a microscope.
