Abstract: An optical element includes an optical lens produced by an additive manufacturing method and a holder formed at least in part with the optical lens by the additive manufacturing method. The holder is adapted for cooperation with a manufacturing machine to thereby position the optical lens at a predetermined position in the manufacturing machine. A corresponding assembly and a method of manufacturing an optical element are also described.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for detecting defects in an optical component to be tested, such as a lens comprising the steps of: providing a structured pattern, recording the reflected or transmitted image of the pattern on the optical component to be tested, phase shifting the pattern and recording again similarly the reflected or transmitted image, calculating the local phase and amplitude images of the optical component to be tested, calculating a model image of a defect free optical component and determining corresponding phase and amplitude images of the defect free model optical component, comparing phase and amplitude images of both optical component to be tested and defect free model optical component, determining suspect zones in the optical component to be tested, and applying a metrics to separate dust and noise from other defects.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging for an ophthalmic lens (100) that comprises a box (200) and a lens holder (300) inside the closed box. The holder includes at least one flexible portion (305) that is bent by the lid (202) of the box when said lid is closed. The portion thus bent bears against a peripheral edge (B) of the lens in order to maintain said lens at a distance from the lid inside the box. A convex face (S1) of the lens in the box is thus protected against any damage.
