LENS DESIGN
TERITARY CURVES
Additional curves beyond the secondary
curve may be used. The next curve is
often called the tertiary curve and has
a radius called the tertiary curve radius
(TCR) or second back peripheral optic
radius (BPOR ). It is longer than the
secondary curve radius.
Sometimes more than 2 peripheral
curves are used. Ones beyond the
tertiary curve are often just numbered,
such as 4th, 5th, etc.
The outermost curve (often the tertiary curve) may be very narrow, for example 0.1 mm or 0.2 mm wide. When this outermost curve is narrow and has a long radius (11.0 mm or greater) it is often referred to as a bevel.
