LENS DESIGN
EDGE THICKNESS MINUS LENTICULAR DESIGN
With high minus lenses the edges
become too thick and uncomfortable.
In this case a second curve is cut in
the periphery on the front surface of
the lens to thin the edge. This is
called a minus lenticular lens.
For hydrogel lenses, due to their large diameter, this is necessary for low minus lenses. For RGP lenses over about -5.00 D to -6.00 D a lenticular cut is needed.
