IMPROVEMENTS IN GRADED, NEUTRAL-DENSITY FILMS FOR ATTENUATION OF VISIBLE LIGHT BY OPHTHALMIC LENSES

Abstract

IN AN EFFORT TO DERIVE GREATER PROTECTION TO THE VISUAL MECHANISM UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS, A SERIES OF METALS WERE EVALUATED AS OPTICAL NEUTRALS IN THE VISIBLE AND NEAR IR and UV. The most promising of these was titanium deposited as a neutral wedge on the concave surfaces of uncorrected ophthalmic lenses. Operational problems and the effect of graded-density variables encountered in depositing two-layer systems are discussed and some solutions are offered. (Author)
