Effects of rigid lens flexure on vision. 1979

S Wechsler

Rigid lenses may flex on the eye, particularly when the center thickness is less than 0.12 mm. Rigid oxygen permeable materials are less rigid than PMMA and can be expected to flex more easily.

D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
