Antilens

/ˈæntɪˌlɛnz/ noun

Definition

An optical device or system that counteracts or opposes the effects of a lens.

Etymology

From anti- + lens (a curved piece of glass that bends light, from Latin lentil because lenses resemble lentil seeds).

Kelly Says

Antilens technology sounds theoretical, but it's real in advanced optics—creating materials that bend light opposite to normal lenses to correct distortions.
