Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method for determining a progressive ophthalmic eyewear lens design specific to an eyewear lens shape is discloses. The method includes receiving (i) an eyewear lens shape trace file and (ii) patient data. The eyewear lens shape trace file is converted into a plurality of location data points. Lens data is created based on the combination of the location data points with the patient data. A plurality of lens designs, viewable as lens maps associated with the eyewear lens shaped, is determined based on various combinations of the lens data. One of the plurality of lens designs that displays a least amount of distortion, a widest viewable field, a widest distance, and intermediate and near zones with a least amount of visual disruption is then determined and transmitted to a lens manufacturing machine.
