Ophthalmic optics – Mounted spectacle lenses
This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for mounted spectacle lenses relative to the prescription order. This standard is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, ISO 21987:2017 Ophthalmic optics - Mounted spectacle lenses. Appendix ZZ lists the variations to ISO 21987:2017 for the application of this Standard in Australia and New Zealand.
