  • Patent number: 7815309
    Abstract: A bifocal plastic lens having a bench lens and a small lens with different refractive powers. The small lens not protruding above a surface of the bench lens, a boundary between the constituent lenses being difficult to see. The small lens may be provided on a preparatory lens member including the small lens. Alternatively, the preparatory lens member has a concave portion for a small lens molding surface. A resin having a higher refractive index than a resin constituting other portions of the lens is adhered to a surface provided with the small lens or the concave portion to be the small lens molding surface in the preparatory lens member, and is cured and integrated.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060170862
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a bifocal plastic lens constituted by a bench lens and a small lens which have different refractive powers from each other, the small lens portion being not protruded and a boundary line between the bench lens and the small lens being difficult to see. Either a preparatory lens member including the small lens or a preparatory lens member including a concave portion to be a small lens molding surface is molded previously and another resin is adhered to a surface provided with the small lens or the concave portion to be the small lens molding surface in the preparatory lens member, and is cured and integrated. Consequently, the small lens is taken into the lens, thereby preventing a protruded surface from being formed by the small lens. In the small lens or the molding portion including the small lens, there is used a resin having a higher refractive index than a resin constituting other portions to form the lens.
