| meniscus lens | A lens having a spherical concave curve on one side and a spherical convex curve on the other. Synonym: meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periscopic lens | A lens with 1.25 D base curve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| photochromic lens | A light-sensitive spectacle lens that reduces light transmission in sunlight and increases transmission in reduced light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| minus lens | A diverging minus power lens. Synonym: minus lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collimating lens | <physics> A lens used to produce a collimated beam from a light source. With a true point source on the axis the beam would be an axial tube of parallel rays With practical sources having real area the beam will be a diverging cone of parallel rays from each light point, this beam still has special properties and can be collected again by a good lens. (05 Aug 1998) |

| concave lens | A diverging minus power lens. Synonym: minus lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| concavoconcave lens | A lens that is concave on two opposing surfaces. Synonym: concavoconcave lens, double concave lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| concavoconvex lens | A converging meniscus lens that is concave on one surface and convex on the opposite surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| condenser or condenser lens | <physics> A term applied to lenses or mirrors designed to collect, control, and concentrate radiation in an illumination system. (05 Aug 1998) |
| multifocal lens | A lens with segments providing two or more powers; commonly, a trifocal lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plus lens | A converging lens. Synonym: plus lens. (05 Mar 2000) |
