Types of Aspheric Lens An aspheric lens may have any of a number of geometries. Most aspheric lenses are rotationally symmetric but have a more complex front surface. Unlike a spherical lens, the curvature changes with the distance from the optical axis. Another way of putting this would be to say that the radius of curvature varies radially from the center of the lens. Typically, the further from the optic axis, the weaker the curvature. A lens that does not have these symmetries is typically called a free-form optic. Avantier's Aspheric Manufacturing Capabilities
