The 'grade' you are asking about is the dioptres (units of measurement of sight), which in turn is your optical or ophthalmological prescription. These would be the same regardless of the method of visual correction device, so yes, they are identical.
You could insert a second lens in the focal path, between the object and the first lens. The second lens can be designed (or moved) to focus the image on the screen. This is the same function that eyeglasses do for people with poor vision. The second lens, the eyeglasses, are inserted between the viewed object and the lens of the eyes. The second lens is designed to correct the distortion of the eye lens, thus creating an in-focus object on the "screens" of the eyes.
No. Although contact lenses have the benefit of covering the entire field of view, and do away with the drawbacks of having a pair of glasses that can fall off, they also contribute in many ways to the development of eye diseases. Contact lenses, when improperly handled, can cause irreparable damage to the cornea.
I believe the exam is the same, but with the contact lens exam the optometrist checks and measures your eyes for the proper fitting of contacts.
Yes, its just that a magnifying glass has a different prescription than eyeglasses.
They cost about $15 per lens. This is about the same as most areas.
My dad is an eye doctor and the same thing happened to me... you should just wash it out well with your lens solution and it'll be fine.
Yes, discount contact lens can still match your prescription exactly. All companies have quality standards that they have to meet, so regardless of where you purchase your prescription lens, you will get the same prescription all the time.
Unfortunately no one offers free eye exams for contact lenses, only for eye glasses. The places that offer free eye exams for glasses often offer cheap contact lens exams. America's Best is one of those and they also have a deal where you can join a club for the same price as the contact lens exam and then you get free exams for the next couple of years.
Because that lens (it does not HAVE to be a 100x lens - other lens magnifications are also available in oil immersion constructions) is made to be in contact with a drop of special oil which covers the specimen. The oil has the same index of refraction as the front lens glass and that way a different optical construction can be used.
no it is same
Nothing for me, I just took it back out (but probs best to get a new contact lense don't use the same for the other eye hot hygenic reasons..)
If the lens equation yields a negative image distance, then the image is a virtual image on the same side of the lens as the object. If it yields a negative focal length, then the lens is a diverging lens rather than the converging lens in the illustration.
