An optical dome is a lens with two concentric spheres. Sometimes they are referred to as curved planar parallel plates.

VY Optics provides dome lenses of various materials.

 

Why choose dome lens?

Domes are ideal for underwater and split-level (half over/under) photography, because they correct for aberrations that occur as light travels at different speeds above and below water.
