Course Info

About this Course

This course provides basic knowledge about ophthalmic lenses that are useful for anyone working in the ophthalmic industry. Students will learn about the physical and optical properties of different types of lenses and frames with some basic calculations involving ophthalmic lenses that are useful in spectacle dispensing. Topics covered include single vision, bifocal and multifocal lenses. Additionally, other properties of the lens such as absorptive and impact properties will also be covered which are useful for lenses and frames selection.
