  • Patent number: 10871658
    Abstract: A method is implemented by a computer for modifying a non-dioptric parameter of an optical system including a first and a second surface. The method includes a modifying step during which the first surface and second surface are modified so as to obtain a modified optical system such that the dioptric function of the modified optical system is substantially the same as the dioptric function of the optical system.

  • Patent number: 10649236
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of selection of an ophthalmic lens suitable for correcting at least an optical impairment of an eye of a wearer who observes a screen. According to the invention the method comprises the steps of: determining at least a characteristic of posture of the wearer observing said screen, determining a dioptric power value associated to said vision zone allowing the wearer when wearing the ophthalmic lens to have an easier reading of said screen, determining at least one characteristic of filtering means to adjust the light exposure of the wearer to said screen, and determining the vision zone based on dioptric power value, characteristic of posture of the wearer and characteristic of filtering means so that the vision comfort of the wearer is optimized when wearing the ophthalmic lens while observing a screen.

  • Patent number: 10401648
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining an ophthalmic lens for providing to a wearer a comfortable vision when looking at electronic displays. The method includes: a wearer near vision electronic display use determining to determine at least an electronic display the wearer intends to use in a near vision situation; a wearer intermediate vision electronic display use determining to determine at least an electronic display the wearer intends to use in an intermediate vision situation; an usage priority rank determining to determine an usage priority rank between the near vision electronic display during the wearer near vision electronic display use determining and the intermediate vision electronic display during the wearer intermediate vision electronic display use determining; an ophthalmic lens determining to determine an ophthalmic lens from the at least one near vision electronic display or the at least one intermediate vision electronic display and the usage priority rank.

  • Patent number: 9557578
    Abstract: Methods for determining a progressive ophthalmic lens are described, the lens comprising a near and a far vision area, a main meridian separating the lens into a nasal and a temporal area. The method includes determining a first and a second surface of the lens, determining the second surface to provide, in combination with the first surface, vision correcting properties, and determining a spherical area on the first surface of the lens having a constant sphere value and including a far vision diopter measurement position. The far vision diopter measurement position and a near vision diopter measurement position have substantially the same mean sphere value. The method also includes determining the first surface to reduce the lens distortion by defining a toric area extending outside the spherical area on the first surface in at least one of the nasal and the temporal area, in which characteristics of the toric area are related to the lens astigmatism.

  • Patent number: 9421719
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transparent optical component having a cellular structure, comprising a network of walls (106), that forms a set of cells (104) that are juxtaposed parallel to a component surface. In order to produce such a component, an irregular set of points (101, 105) in the surface of the component is determined, each point being used to form a center of one of the cells. A position and an orientation of each wall are then determined such that the set of cells forms a Voronoï partition of the surface of the component. The component has a level of transparency that is compatible with an optical or ophthalmological use.

  • Publication number: 20150338682
    Abstract: Ophthalmic lens having a first surface comprising a zone of optical interest, the zone of optical interest comprising at least: a far vision control point (FV), a near vision control point (NV), a main line (M) starting from one end of the zone of optical interest, ending on the opposite end of the zone of optical interest and passing through the far and near vision control points, wherein the main line (M) comprises at one end a first section (S1) of continuous increase of mean sphere, at the other end a second section (S2) of continuous increase of mean sphere, the first and second section being separated by a third section (S3) of stabilized mean sphere.
