With spherical lens, the shape of the sphere corresponds to the cross-section of a sphere, which is a rotationally symmetric optical element with a constant radius of curvature at a distance from the geometric center. This means that the optical effective area can be described by specifying only one parameter, the radius R. This parameter is the same as the radius of the sphere. Since this parameter is constant over the entire surface, spheres have the advantage of being more economical in terms of cost in processing and manufacturing.
