  • Patent number: 9482884
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining an ophthalmic lens. In one implementation, three-dimensional coordinates of a center of rotation of the wearer's eye measured on the wearer in binocular vision are received. At least one direction of gaze measured in a natural posture and a determined position of the ophthalmic lens are received. Characteristics of the ophthalmic lens are calculated by using the coordinates measured for the center of rotation of the eye, the determined position of the lens, and the at least one direction of gaze measured in a natural posture. The characteristics of the ophthalmic lens are calculated by positioning a starting ophthalmic lens in the determined position and modifying the starting ophthalmic lens by wavefront analysis and/or optimizing using ray tracing dependent on the coordinates measured for the center of rotation of the eye and the determined position of the lens.

  • Patent number: 9360684
    Abstract: A method for determining target optical functions for a pair of ophthalmic lenses is provided, the method comprising steps of: generating a first target optical function (OFT1) for a first lens of the pair based at least on data relating to a first eye, generating a second target optical function (OFT2) for a second lens of the pair based at least on data relating to the first eye. This method makes it possible to obtain optical functions having improved symmetry. Thus, when using the target optical functions in an optical optimization method, lenses with improved binocular properties can be obtained. The comfort of the wearer of the pair of lenses is thus improved.
