The obvious place for mutual links would be an article on optical glass. I'm rather surprised to find that there doesn't seem to be one--it's a glaring omission. Was there one that got deleted, or maybe merged with the article on glass in general? Sam Paris (talk) 15:33, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Counterpoint

The classification based on refractive index and the Abbe number seems pretty good. But then, quite certainly, it cannot encapsulate all that is relevant to optical glass. Does anybody then know of any properties of optical glass which *cannot* be described by said two numbers? Decoy (talk) 01:01, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
