Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a prescription lens includes obtaining information of a prescription lens and a frame to accommodate the prescription lens, the information of the prescription lens comprising a lens power, an optical zone and a spherical front base curve, and the information of the frame comprises a frame curve; calculating the maximum lens thickness of the prescription lens at the optical zone according to the information of the prescription lens; selecting a lens according to the calculated maximum lens thickness at the optical zone, the information of the prescription lens and the frame; and processing the selected lens so as to obtain the prescription lens having an intermediate zone surrounding the optical zone and an edge zone surrounding the intermediate zone such that the thickness of the edge zone is substantially thinner than the maximum lens thickness of the optical zone.
