LabRat1 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So I have Astigmatism(Again with the self centered post). So I was pondering on the fact that wouldn't it be possible with today's 3D printing technology to print corrective lenses for it? I kind of feel that it wouldn't be able to achieve that level of flexibility and softness. But acquiring the shape of the desired lens for the given refractive error would be possible right?

Bender Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The accuracy and resolution of a 3D printer is nowhere near what is required for lenses. Lenses to correct for astigmatism already exist, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You can get contact lenses for astigmatism already, so is the question about using 3D printing technology to create contact lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
