Cylindrical Lenses

Cylindrical lenses are used to correct astigmatism in the eye and in rangefinders, to produce astigmatism, stretching a point of light into a line, they are widely used in bar code scanning, projection optics systems, laser measurement systems and holography.

Cylindrical lenses are available in either plano-concave or plano-convex configurations from UPT.
