Uniform, nonrandom concentration of reflected light is known as:  1. reflection  2. glare  3. polarized light  4. aberration

Which of the following can be a source of glare?

A polarized filter is produced by:

Prescription wrap sunwear with steep base curves can adversely effect the wearer’s vision due to:  1. changes in the base curve  2. tilts in the vertical plane of the lens  3. changes in temperature  4. no special optical considerations are needed

Optimizing a prescription wrap lens takes into account the ___________________and usually results in base in prism and a slight adjustment of power.

The _______________ design has a top rim or arm for each eye that attaches to a bridge to which the lens is attached.

The _______________ design consists of three parts: a bridge and two end pieces.

____________ is ultra light compared to other types of metals and it has a high tinsel strength.

____________ is a titanium-based alloy which is proprietary to frame manufacturer Marchon.

____________ is an alternative to titanium. It is light weight yet very strong and flexible and it resists corrosion.

____________ is made primarily of iron and chrome. It has a springy effect which makes it especially useful for temples.
