Abstract
In this work, we present the methods of fabrication and characterization of biconvex spherical and aspherical lenses with 25 and 50 mm diameters that have been created via additive technology using a Formlabs Form 3 stereolithography 3D printer. After the prototypes are postprocessed, fabrication errors ≤2.47% for the radius of curvature, the optical power, and the focal length are obtained. We show eye fundus images captured with an indirect ophthalmoscope using the printed biconvex aspherical prototypes, proving the functionality of both the fabricated lenses and the proposed method, which is fast and low-cost.
