What is the aberration affect spectacle lens?
Aberrations in spectacle lenses refer to imperfections that cause blurring or distortion in vision, such as spherical aberration (blurriness) or chromatic aberration (color fringing). These aberrations can occur due to lens design, material, or manufacturing processes, and can affect visual acuity and comfort for the wearer. Specialized lens designs like aspheric or high-index lenses aim to minimize aberrations for better vision.
What is the best way to clean spectacle lenses?
The best way to clean spectacle lenses is to use a specialized lens cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Spray the cleaner on the outside and inside of the lenses and gently rub dry with the cloth. Lens cleaners are available at most opticians, but be sure to check that they are suitable for your lens type. If you don't have any lens cleaner, use clean tap water and rub the lenses with your fingers. Dry with a soft tissue of lint-free cloth. Warning:Never use any kind of soap or detergent on anti-reflective coated lenses. The coatings will break down, and this will damage the lenses beyond repair.
