Aspheric Lenses

Key features

Unlike spherical lenses, which have a uniform curvature, Aspheric Lenses feature a progressive curvature that improves image quality and reduces distortion, particularly in the peripheral areas of the lens.

Benefits of Aspheric Lenses

• A more natural view — Reduction in lateral distortion.
• Greater clarity — Superior visual quality across the entire surface of the lens.
• A more understated aesthetic — Flatter lenses that protrude less.
• Reduction of the ‘enlarged eye’ or ‘shrunken eye’ effect — Improved aesthetic result.

When are they recommended?

• High myopia — To reduce the thickness and improve the appearance.
• Severe hyperopia — To minimise the magnifying effect.
• High-index lenses — To optimise the performance of the most refractive materials.
• Slim or minimalist frames — For a more harmonious silhouette.

Relationship with other technical parameters

Aspheric Lenses work in synergy with materials and finishes to ensure superior visual quality.

• Refractive index — High-index lenses benefit particularly from aspheric geometry.
• Optical aberrations — Aspherical geometry reduces aberrations and distortions.
• Anti-reflective coating — Essential for more reflective materials.

Optical solutions

Aspheric Lenses are available in a range of configurations and can be fitted into various styles of glasses.

• Single-vision lenses — A more natural view and thinner lenses.
• Progressive lenses — Advanced geometries for clear vision at all distances.
• High-index lenses — The perfect combination of aesthetics and visual quality.

Isolani Experience

At Isolani Optical Centres, we select high-quality Aspheric Lenses to ensure natural vision, improved peripheral vision and a more harmonious appearance, choosing materials, coatings and frames to suit your lifestyle.

• Personalised eye care advice — Choosing the ideal geometry.
• Behavioural Centring — Optimisation of the lens’s actual performance.
• Simulation Room — Evaluation of lenses under real-world conditions.

Ongoing support

Aspheric Lenses require precise centring to ensure the highest visual quality. At Isolani Optical Centres, we offer ongoing support to maintain performance and comfort over time.
