  • Patent number: 11953759
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, including: capturing a nominal refractive power and/or a nominal astigmatism in a near reference point of the lens, determining a corrective value of the vertical or horizontal prism in the near reference point of the lens; modifying the nominal refractive power and/or the nominal astigmatism in the near reference point on the basis of the corrective value of the vertical or horizontal prism of the lens; determining a continuous course of the nominal refractive power or the nominal astigmatism along the main line of the lens on the basis of the modified refractive power and/or nominal astigmatism in the near reference point; and calculating or optimizing the lens on the basis of the modified nominal refractive power and/or nominal astigmatism in the near reference point and the determined course of the nominal refractive power and/or the nominal astigmatism along the main line.
