What is a radical aspherical lens surface? Most lenses use only spherical lens elements, which have a surface with a constant curvature. Aspherical lens elements have complex curved surfaces. The sophisticated technology for creating such lenses was originally developed for lenses for computer chip manufacturing. By using aspherical lens surfaces, the optical designer can create a lens that is smaller, lighter and optically better than lenses using only spherical surfaces. Aspherical le
