Why is the radius of curvature of the surface of sun glasses kept the same ???
Is it to keep the focal length same??? If focal length is different for both lenses what will happen?? If a person has defective eye-sight, say myopia, then also will the radius of curvature be kept the same???
For normal eye , power of sun glasses should be 0. In order to keep the power 0 , it is given as reciprocal of focal length, hence focal length, and accordingly radius of curvature will be 1/0 or infinity. However, if there is some defect in the eye, the power and radius of curvature of the sunglasses may not be same. more curvature would cause you to see distortedly
In other words, for all ordinary sun glasses, all of them have no curvature as all have a focal point at infinity.
(And yes, for custom sun glasses, they will have a curvature.)
