cylindrical spherical lens

Do you remember your visit with the eye doctor and needing a pair of glasses fitted with special lenses? Those are very important lenses because they make you SEE!!! One particular lens of which you may have heard, is a cylindrical lens. This lens is a little different compared to the most common, circular lenses some people wear on a daily basis.

Cylindrical spherical lenses have the same shape as tube/cylinder. They are not shaped like a ball, or a sphere. This distinctive shape enables the lens to bend light in a particular manner. This way of bending light is essential for correcting vision issues that regular, spherical lenses may not have worked for.

Advantages and Limitations of Cylindrical Spherical Lenses

The greatest advantage for cylindrical lens glasseses is to correct one of the vision problems (astigmatism) which can only get rectify through cylindrical lenses. Astigmatism occurs when the eye is more like a football (long and oval) than a basketball (round). And because of that strange shape, people with astigmatism can frequently see things fuzzy or unclear. This makes a great contribution of cylindrical spherical lenses to resolve the issue. They bend light just enough that the images become clearer, sharper.

Keep in mind, although cylindrical spherical lenses correct many types of vision issues, they do not correct every vision problem. They are best for astigmatism, but can be problematic for other common eye conditions, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. Always consult your eye care professional to determine the best lenses and options for your specific vision needs.
