Abstract
Optical glasses have primarily been developed to obtain certain desired optical characteristics. In order to achieve the optical performance demanded in practice, chemical compositions are required which sometimes result in glasses with low chemical resistance. In view of the diversity of chemical components it is not possible to specify any single universal testing procedure that takes into consideration all possible changes produced by chemical influences. The different chemical reactions that may occur between a glass surface and its surrounding environment have been described and explained in the literature [6.-17].
