Image for Lens Design

Lens Design

Lens design is the process of creating lenses that focus or spread light to achieve specific optical effects. It involves selecting the right shape and material for the lens to control how light passes through it, ensuring clarity and reducing distortions. Designers consider factors like focal length (how strongly the lens bends light), lens curvature, and any optical imperfections. Advanced tools and software are often employed to simulate and refine lens performance, resulting in applications ranging from eyeglasses and cameras to telescopes and microscopes, ultimately enhancing our ability to see and capture images clearly.
