The answer to the question is called "glass." Glass can be melted and blown into shape to create lenses for various optical instruments.
The two types of lenses are converging lenses (also called convex lenses) and diverging lenses (also called concave lenses). Converging lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while diverging lenses cause light rays to spread out.
Photochromic lenses are made by adding special light-sensitive molecules to the lens. When exposed to UV light, these molecules cause the lenses to darken in the sun and clear up when indoors. This is done by either mixing the molecules into the lens material or applying them as a coating.
A material through which nearly all light passes is called a transparent material.
A lens is a curved piece of glass or other transparent material that refracts light to form an image. There are two main types of lenses: convex lenses, which converge light rays to a focal point, and concave lenses, which diverge light rays. Additionally, there are specialized lenses such as plano-concave, plano-convex, and biconvex lenses that have specific applications in optics.
In electron microscopes, electromagnets are typically used as objective lenses instead of traditional glass lenses. These electromagnetic lenses are capable of focusing beams of electrons to produce high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale level.
The raw material of lenses is plastic polymer in most cases. There are some lenses which are made from glass materials as well.
Early lenses were called eyepieces.
These are the types of contact lenses and the material(s) they're made out of: 1. rigid lenses - polymethyl methacrylate (now improved) 2. soft lenses - silicon hydrogel (which is the material that is being used in manufacture of contact lenses today) 3. hybrid - mixture of materials of both rigid and soft lenses
The two types of lenses are converging lenses (also called convex lenses) and diverging lenses (also called concave lenses). Converging lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while diverging lenses cause light rays to spread out.
Aurolab lenses are made of high-quality acrylic material. These IOLs are used in cataract surgeries.
They are called objective lenses.

Lenses with thick centers and thin edges are called convex lenses. They converge light rays towards a focal point, which allows them to focus light and produce real images.
it is called a compound
because that's what it's called
Photochromic lenses are made by adding special light-sensitive molecules to the lens. When exposed to UV light, these molecules cause the lenses to darken in the sun and clear up when indoors. This is done by either mixing the molecules into the lens material or applying them as a coating.
Gas-permeable contact lenses are rigid lenses made of durable plastics that allow oxygen to pass through the lens .These lenses also are called GP lenses.
