ASPHERICAL LENS

Definition: lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size.

Definition: A lens whose curved surface does not conform to the shape of a sphere; lenses are usually ground or molded with spherical surfaces; because a spherical surface lens has difficulty in correcting distortion in ultra-wideangle lenses or coma in large-aperture lenses brought about by spherical aberration, an aspherical lens is used.
