Making a Spectacle
'Not everyone has good eyesight. Many of us need spectacles or contact lenses to improve our vision. A lot of science goes into making sure people get the right spectacles to suit their needs.' These practicals and videos use a workplace context to help students to develop their understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum, and about the type of materials used in making spectacles. The video shows an optician at RT Knights Opticians Ltd, Bournemouth, as he tests a patient's sight and recommends corrective lenses.
