The Physics of Thinness: Understanding Lens Materials & Index
Tracking # 20-1376552
Course overview
This Two hour course breaks down the physics of lens materials in an accessible, practical way. Participants will learn how refractive index, Abbe value, and specific gravity impact lens thickness, weight, and visual clarity. Through simple analogies and real world examples, attendees will discover why a 1.74 lens is not always the best solution, how to balance cosmetic and visual needs, and how to explain these complex concepts to patients confidently.
