  • Publication number: 20220035183
    Abstract: The local refractive power or the refractive power distribution of a spectacle lens is measured. A first image of a scene having a plurality of structure points and a left and/or a right spectacle lens of a frame front is captured with an image capturing device from a first capture position having an imaging beam path for structure points, which extends through the spectacle lens of the frame front. At least two further images of the scene are captured with the image capturing device from different capture positions, one of which can be identical with the first capture position, without the spectacle lenses of the spectacles or without the frame front containing the spectacle lenses having the structure points imaged in the first image, and the coordinates of the structure points in a coordinate system are calculated from the at least two further images of the scene by image analysis.

  • Patent number: 11099100
    Abstract: A device for measuring the optical effect of an ophthalmic lens, in particular a spectacle lens, includes a display system, an image acquisition system, and a computer unit. During measurement, the lens is arranged in a measurement volume of the device. The display system displays a test structure and the image acquisition system acquires image data of the test structure from multiple viewpoints using imaging optical paths which pass through the lens. The computer unit determines the three-dimensional shape of the lens on the basis of the image data and calculates an optical effect of the lens on the basis of its three-dimensional shape. A corresponding method and computer program are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9797804
    Abstract: The spatial structure of an optical element is determined. The optical element has a first optically active surface and a second optically active surface. The optical element is arranged in a holding device. The position of a point (P) on the first optically active surface and the position of a point (P?) on the second optically active surface are referenced in a coordinate system fixed to the holding device. The topography of the first optically active surface is determined in a coordinate system referenced to the holding device by the position of point (P) and the spatial structure of the optical element is calculated from the topography of the first optically active surface and from a data set as to the topography of the second optically active surface. The data set is referenced to the fixed coordinate system of the holding device by the position of point (P?).
