Yes. Plastic lenses are more scratch-resistant and also a lot lighter.
That is totally wrong.
The main reason to get glass is that they are more scratch resistant.
The glass, however, is heavier, and the glass can shatter, so very few people
get glass now.
concave lense is a piece of smooth glass that is thick from the edges and thin from centre and is used to diverge light rays.
Depends on the type of defect of the eye
as a piece of glass or other transparent material, used to converge or diverge transmitted light, to form optical images, as for magnification or correcting defects of vision
The simplest optical microscope is the magnifying glass and is good to about ten times (10X) magnification. The compound microscope has two systems of lenses for greater magnification, 1) the ocular, or eyepiece lens that one looks into and 2) the objective lens, or the lens closest to the object.
No.
Extremely critical.
to magnify it
A lens is a device that changes the direction of light.
It is possible to do so - you will need to contact your optician.
The objective lenses are the optical element that gathers light from the 'object' being observed and they focus the light rays to produce a real image.
contact lenses are made of a plastic plasma. When exposed to certain chemicals, directly though splash etc, or through gaseous atmosphere, the plastic plasma can revert into its original state. This causes the the lense to contract, tearing the surface of the eye. Do not do this in any circumstances as you could lose your sight.
They enlarge and put into focus the object on the slide.
