Abstract: Ophthalmic lens including a base of polymeric material with a coating having an interferential, anti-reflective, anti-iridescent and infrared filter multiple layer structure. An interphase, a first layer (of 91-169 nm) with a refraction index higher than 1.8, a second layer (of 128-248 nm) with a refraction index lower than 1.65, a third layer (of 73-159 nm) with a refraction index higher than 1.8 and a fourth layer (of 40-138 nm) with a refraction index lower than 1.8. A total thickness of the multiple layer structure is less than 600 nm. The structure can have intermediate layers with intermediate refraction indices, in which case a doublet of two adjacent layers that fulfil the thicknesses above is replaced by a triplet so that the thickness and an optical thickness of the triplet differ from those of the doublet by less than 5%, respectively.

Abstract: A central area of a lens is defined with a central perimeter coinciding with a perimeter of a frame, a temporal line divides the central area into a nasal area and a temporal area, a useful perimeter is formed from the nasal area and the temporal line, a useful area is delimited by the useful perimeter, and a prescription is determined for the user. The temporal line is outside a cone with at least a 30° opening, an apex of which is in a center of rotation of a user's eye, which is an optical axis. A lens thickness is optimized according to the thickness of the perimeter of the nasal area. Subsequently a transition area is defined extending between the useful perimeter and an external perimeter of the lens.

Abstract: Finished ophthalmic lens and corresponding methods. Finished ophthalmic lens having one concave face, one convex face; an outer perimeter with a thickness within a pre-established range; a central useful area that fulfills a pre-established ophthalmic prescription, which defines a machined surface, and which has a useful perimeter that coincides with a perimeter of a pre-established frame; and an outer transition area that joins the useful perimeter of the central useful area to the outer perimeter. A transition area includes a transition surface that extends from the machined surface and as far as the outer perimeter, is continuous and a derivative thereof is continuous on all points, including a joining line between the transition surface and the machined surface.

Abstract: A method for designing and manufacturing a monofocal ophthalmic lens and corresponding lens. A surface of the monofocal ophthalmic lens is defined by: f(x,y)=a1+a2?{square root over (1?a3x2?a4y2)}+a5exp{a6x4+a7y4+a8x2y2} wherein x and y are perpendicular optical axes of the lens in a plane, wherein a1-a8 are coefficients, and wherein a5 is other than 0 and at least one of a6, a7 and a8 is other than 0, including a hyperbolic component and an exponential component. The coefficients can be calculated by an iterative calculation and the merit function as follows: fm = [ ? i ? ? i ? m i 2 ? ( ? ) ] 1 / 2 where mi is a value of an optical property at a specific viewing angle ? with respect to an optical axis of the lens, and ?i is a weighting value.
