Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining a base curve value representing a base curve for a front surface of a spectacle lens is disclosed. The method includes receiving individual prescription data and determining the base curve value for the front surface of the spectacle lens based on the prescription data. In particular, the base curve value is calculated from the received prescription data based on a functional relationship between one or more values included in the prescription data and the base curve value.

Abstract: A head image registration uses a plurality of combined 2D and depth images, for example RGBD images, of a head recorded from different positions. Landmark points are determined for each of the combined images. The registration is performed as a coarse registration based on the landmark points followed by a fine registration based on full point clouds. Based on the registration, a head model may be generated.

Abstract: This frame comprises: a front piece; a temple piece; a connection part that is elastic and that connects the front piece and the temple piece; and wiring which electrically connects a front piece-side electrical element provided to the front piece and a temple piece-side electrical element provided to the temple piece, and a portion of which is routed through the space between the front piece and the connection part.

Abstract: A data record contains at least the following data values: spatial coordinates of a reference point at each eye of the wearer; a spatial direction vector for specifying a viewing direction of the wearer through the spectacle lens; and a spatial rim curve or edge curve. The data record can be used to produce a spectacle lens. A method and a computer program for generating the data record, and a method for producing the spectacle lens are also disclosed. It is possible to produce the spectacle lens after a single capture of a data record for adapting the spectacle lenses to the wearer of the pair of spectacles and to the spectacle frame selected by the wearer. A different spectacle lens as the spectacle lens originally selected can subsequently be used as the spectacle lens without having to record a further data record for the adaptation for the wearer.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program, an apparatus, and a remote apparatus for determining at least one visual performance of at least one eye of a person for a plurality of points in a visual field of the person from tracking data by using at least the first spatial location of at least one visual fixation mark and the second spatial location of at least one visual stimulus are disclosed. An attention level of the person is determined by evaluating a time-related difference in reaction times between at least one particular measurement cycle and at least one subsequent measurement cycle. The automated visual performance test can be performed by any person irrespective of being an ophthalmologist or optometry specialist or not, particularly by using a mobile device.
