About freeform optics
Freeform optics are optical components that no longer have an axis or centre of symmetry. Beyond their use in ophthalmology, astronomy and lighting for several decades, they have appeared in precision optical systems today, from automotive lighting to AR/VR devices. The use of freeform reduces the size of system, adds functionality and/or increases performance. Today, they constitute a disruptive technology that the FO-RS Association intends to address collectively.
