  • Patent number: 8506084
    Abstract: The present invention relates in summary to a method for checking and/or determining user data of a spectacle lens user comprising providing subjective data of a spectacle lens user, wherein the subjective data comprise at least subjective refraction data, providing objective refraction data of the spectacle lens user, comparing at least one subset of the subjective refraction data with at least one subset of the objective refraction data and determining a comparison result, matching at least the subset of the subjective refraction data to the objective refraction data on the basis of the comparison result under the assumption that the comparison result fulfills at least one predetermined comparison condition, otherwise maintaining at least the subset of the subjective refraction data and/or providing a message containing the comparison result, and to a further method, a computer program product and two devices for checking and/or determining user data.

  • Patent number: 8506076
    Abstract: A method and system for producing a first spectacle lens for a specific situation of wear for correcting at least a first astigmatic refraction of a first eye of a wearer, which has a first cylinder reference axis ?0(1) in a reference direction of sight ?ez(1) of the first eye. According to the method and apparatus, a primary direction of sight ?e?(1,p) of the first eye for at least one primary evaluation point ib(1,p) of the first spectacle lens is determined and a corresponding primary direction of sight ?e?,k(2,p) of a second eye of the spectacle wearer that corresponds to the primary direction of sight ?e?(1,p) of the first eye in the specific situation of wear is also determined.

  • Patent number: 8303113
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a progressive spectacle lens and to a corresponding apparatus, a computer program product, a storage medium and to the use of a progressive spectacle lens. The invention also relates to a method for producing a progressive spectacle lens for correcting defective vision of a spectacle wearer, comprising the following steps: the vertical and/or the horizontal spatial position of a distance reference point and/or a near reference point is specified or determined in accordance with individual data of the spectacle wearer; the spectacle lens is optimized or calculated such that the required dioptric effect of the spectacle lens is obtained in the individually determined distance reference point and/or the near reference point.

  • Publication number: 20100198817
    Abstract: The present invention relates in summary to a method for checking and/or determining user data of a spectacle lens user comprising the steps of:—providing (S1) subjective data of a spectacle lens user, wherein the subjective data comprise at least subjective refraction data;—providing (S2) objective refraction data of the spectacle lens user;—comparing (S3) at least one subset of the subjective refraction data with at least one subset of the objective refraction data and determining a comparison result;—matching (S3) at least the subset of the subjective refraction data to the objective refraction data on the basis of the comparison result under the assumption that the comparison result fulfills at least one predetermined comparison condition, otherwise maintaining at least the subset of the subjective refraction data and/or—providing a message containing the comparison result, and to a further method, a computer program product and two devices for checking and/or determining user data.

  • Publication number: 20100145489
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a computer program product and a system for designing or producing a spectacle lens for a spectacle wearer. Said method consists of the following steps: individual user data or application data of the spectacle wearer is obtained; the design concept for the spectacle lens having a plurality of evaluation points is determined; a main beam path through the plurality of evaluation points is determined; a local wavefront is specified for each of the main beams in the surroundings of the respective main beam; optical properties of the spectacle lens are determined on the evaluation points by determining an influence of the spectacle lens on the local wavefronts in the surroundings of the respective evaluation point; and the design concept is evaluated in accordance with the determined optical properties and the individual user data.
