clariti 1 day contacts are incredibly comfortable and breathable, thanks to CooperVision’s patented AquaGen Technology. These daily disposable contacts also have aspheric optics to deliver clear, consistent vision all day.

A diffraction grating is able to disperse a beam of various wavelengths into a spectrum of associated lines because of the principle of diffraction: in any particular direction, only those waves of a given wavelength will be conserved, all the rest being destroyed because of interference with one another. Gratings give exceptionally high resolutions of spectral lines. The resolving power (R) of an optical instrument represents the ability to separate closely spaced lines in a spectrum and is equal to the wavelength λ divided by the smallest difference (Δλ) in two wavelengths that can be detected; i.e., R = λ/Δλ. Thus, for a grating 10 centimetres wide and ruled with 10,000 lines per centimetre, the resolution in the first diffraction order would be 100,000. For a wavelength emission in the ultraviolet, say λ = 300 nanometres (3 × 10-7 metre), a wavelength difference of Δλ = 3 × 10-12 metre (about 1/100 the diameter of an atom) should be theoretically possible.

Bausch + Lomb’s PureVision 2 HD contacts have aspheric optics to deliver clear, consistent vision while reducing halos and glare in low light conditions. These monthly disposable contacts also come with a visibility tint so you can easily spot the lenses in your contact lens case.

Asphericmeaning

The lines on gratings are made by an extremely precise machine called a ruling engine, which uses a diamond-tipped tool to press thousands of very fine, shallow lines onto a highly polished surface. Newer techniques rule the lines photographically, using laser interferometry.

Biotrue ONEday contacts have aspheric optics to reduce halos and glare, even in low-light conditions. These daily disposable lenses are also manufactured with a revolutionary material called HyperGel, which matches the cornea’s water content to provide all-day comfort.

Aspheric optics is also thought to reduce spherical aberration — a specific type of optical aberration in which light rays passing through the periphery of the cornea and lens come to a focus at a slightly different location than light rays passing through the center of the cornea and lens. If not corrected, the differences in focus location on the retina lead to decreased image quality.

Asphericlens benefits

A conventional lens has a spherical front surface, meaning it has the same curve across its entire surface. Think of the surface of a baseball. On the other hand, an aspheric lens has a more complex front surface in that its curve gradually changes from the center of the lens to the edge.

With conventional contact lens designs, some distortion is created when the wearer looks away from the center of the lens, i.e., left, right, up, or down. Aspheric contact lens designs reduce this distortion by creating a wider field of view and giving the wearer better peripheral vision. This is primarily why expensive camera lenses tend to have aspheric designs.

Bausch + Lomb ULTRA contacts are designed specifically for the digital age. Featuring exclusive MoistureSeal™ Technology, these monthly disposable contacts keep eyes feeling fresh and healthy all day. As such, they’re an excellent option for heavy users of digital devices.

diffraction grating, component of optical devices consisting of a surface ruled with close, equidistant, and parallel lines for the purpose of resolving light into spectra. A grating is said to be a transmission or reflection grating according to whether it is transparent or mirrored—that is, whether it is ruled on glass or on a thin metal film deposited on a glass blank. Reflection gratings are further classified as plane or concave, the latter being a spherical surface ruled with lines that are the projection of equidistant and parallel lines on an imaginary plane surface. The advantage of a concave grating over a plane grating is its ability to produce sharp spectral lines without the aid of lenses or additional mirrors. This makes it useful in the infrared and ultraviolet regions in which these radiations would otherwise be absorbed upon passage through a lens.

Biofinity contacts by CooperVision are monthly disposable lenses that deliver clear, consistent vision, thanks to aspheric optics. These contacts also feature exclusive Aquaform Technology, which locks in water so you can enjoy all-day comfort.

Avaira Vitality contacts by CooperVision deliver superior visual performance, thanks to aspheric optics. These 1-2 week disposable contacts are also made of a state-of-the-art silicone hydrogel material to ensure a healthy contact lens-wearing experience.\

Aspheric optics is a lens design with an aspheric (non-spherical) front surface to better match the shape of the cornea and provide improved visual performance.

Aspheric lensesadvantages disadvantages

In eyeglasses, aspheric lenses also have flatter curves than conventional lenses, allowing them to fit closer to your face. This is a significant benefit for those with strong prescriptions because conventional lenses with strong prescriptions can have one of two effects. Conventional lenses with a strong prescription for farsightedness make objects appear bigger and closer than they really are, and they give the wearer’s eyes a “bug-eyed” look. Meanwhile, conventional lenses for nearsightedness make objects appear smaller, and they give the wearer a beady-eyed appearance. Aspheric lenses reduce these undesired effects, and they make the wearer’s eyes look natural.

Leading manufacturers offer several brands of contact lenses with aspheric optics. Some of the most popular ones include Bausch + Lomb ULTRA, PureVision, PureVision 2, SofLens, Avaira Vitality, Biofinity, Biotrue ONEday, and clariti.
