Abstract: Method implemented by computer for optimizing a set of optical lens blanks used to manufacture a set of optical lenses, each optical lens comprising first and second optical surfaces, the first and second optical surfaces being connected by a external periphery surface, the method comprising: a data providing step during which a set of data for every optical lens of the set of optical lenses is provided, the data comprising at least contour data representative of an external periphery surface of the optical lens, a first dataset representative of the first optical surface of the optical lens and a second dataset representative of the second optical surface of the optical lens; a supply cost function providing step during which a supply cost function is provided, the supply cost function being a function of the number of different optical lens blank comprised in the set of optical lens blanks.

Abstract: A finished lens with a predetermined shape, including one front face, one back face and a perimeter corresponding to the shape, including a prescription part on the lens that together with the front face fulfills prescription data of a wearer and a peripheral part on the lens, the prescription part being delimited by a thickness curve and the peripheral part extending from the thickness curve towards an outer edge of the lens, the thickness curve corresponding to a value of thickness less than or equal to a predetermined thickness requirement.

Abstract: A method includes: providing lens blank data relating to the first, second and peripheral blank surfaces of the lens blank; providing optical lens data relating to the first, second and peripheral optical surfaces of the optical lens; virtually positioning the optical lens in the lens blank in a position so that at least one of the first optical surface or the second optical surface is included within the lens blank; evaluating a manufacturing prism cost function, the machining prism cost function corresponding to a weighed sum of the first manufacturing prism to be used when blocking the lens blank on the second surface to machine the first optical surface and of the second manufacturing prism to be used when blocking the lens blank on the first optical surface to machine the second optical surface. The positioning and evaluation steps are repeated so as to minimize the manufacturing prism cost function.
