What term is used for lens treatment that allows the maximum amount of light to pass through the lens?

  1. Diopters

  2. On the temporal side of the lens

  3. Antireflection

  4. 34mm

The correct answer is: Antireflection

The term used for the lens treatment that allows the maximum amount of light to pass through the lens is "Antireflection." Antireflection coating helps to reduce glare and reflections on the lens surfaces, allowing more light to pass through the lens and improving vision clarity, especially in conditions with bright lighting or while using digital devices. It is a common feature on eyeglass lenses to enhance visual comfort and acuity for the wearer. Out of the other choices, "Diopters" refers to the unit of measurement for the refractive power of a lens, "On the temporal side of the lens" is a location description and not related to the transmission of light, and "34mm" seems to be a random number not related to lens treatment or light transmission. Therefore, these choices are incorrect in the context of the question.
