  • Patent number: 7527376
    Abstract: A method of correcting the effects of a bend angle of 200 degrees or larger of spectacle frames, and astigmatism correcting characteristics in such spectacle frames. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a design method for a spectacle lens mounted in a spectacle frame having a bend angle of 200 degrees or larger including an astigmatic power adding step, on the object side refractive surface or eyeball side refractive surface of the spectacle lens, for canceling astigmatic aberration caused by the bend angle of the spectacle frame, at a design reference point of the spectacle lens, and a step setting prismatic power by tilting the refractive surface, which is on an object side or an eyeball side, of the spectacle lens for canceling prismatic power caused by the bend angle of the spectacle frame, at the design reference point of the spectacle lens.

  • Patent number: 7070274
    Abstract: To provide a spectacle lens that is designed optically to suit a spectacle frame with a large camber angle such as a wraparound type spectacle frame. A spectacle lens that is mounted in a spectacle frame with a camber angle of 200° or more, in which cylindrical power for offsetting astigmatic aberration, which is caused by the camber angle at a design reference point, is added to a refractive surface on an object side or a refractive surface on an eye side, prismatic power for offsetting prismatic effect, which is caused by the camber angle at the design reference point, is added to the refractive surface on the object side or the refractive surface on the eye side, and aspherical surfaces different from each other on a nose side and an ear side are formed on the refractive surface on the object side or the refractive surface on the eye side.
