Abstract: A computer-implemented method of determining a base curve value representing a base curve for a front surface of a spectacle lens is disclosed. The method includes receiving individual prescription data and determining the base curve value for the front surface of the spectacle lens based on the prescription data. In particular, the base curve value is calculated from the received prescription data based on a functional relationship between one or more values included in the prescription data and the base curve value.

Abstract: A data record contains at least the following data values: spatial coordinates of a reference point at each eye of the wearer; a spatial direction vector for specifying a viewing direction of the wearer through the spectacle lens; and a spatial rim curve or edge curve. The data record can be used to produce a spectacle lens. A method and a computer program for generating the data record, and a method for producing the spectacle lens are also disclosed. It is possible to produce the spectacle lens after a single capture of a data record for adapting the spectacle lenses to the wearer of the pair of spectacles and to the spectacle frame selected by the wearer. A different spectacle lens as the spectacle lens originally selected can subsequently be used as the spectacle lens without having to record a further data record for the adaptation for the wearer.

Abstract: A progressive spectacle lens has a front face and a rear face and a uniform substrate with a locally varying refractive index. The front face and/or the rear face of the substrate is formed as a free-form surface and carries only functional coatings, if any. The refractive index varies (a) only in a first spatial dimension and in a second spatial dimension and is constant in a third spatial dimension, a distribution of the refractive being neither point-symmetrical nor axis symmetrical, or (b) in a first spatial dimension and in a second spatial dimension and in a third spatial dimension, a distribution of the refractive index being neither point-symmetrical nor axis symmetrical, or (c) in a first spatial dimension and in a second spatial dimension and in a third spatial dimension, a distribution of the refractive index not being point-symmetrical or axis symmetrical at all.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of determining a numerical representation of a spectacle lens is provided, in which a numerically represented working spectacle lens is optimized by ray tracing using pencils of rays along different viewing directions of an eye to obtain an optimized numerical representation. The principal rays of the pencils of rays each pass different ray passing points forming points of a vertex surface. The principal rays extend along a viewing direction related to the respective ray passing point. The locations of the ray passing points are determined by surface points of a non-spherical apex surface representing the locations of the apex of the cornea when the eye rotates. A fixed distance is added to the apex surface at the respective surface points in a direction that corresponds to the viewing direction of the eye when the apex of the cornea is located at that surface point.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for fitting a spectacle lens, which has a first spectacle lens surface, a second spectacle lens surface, and at least one dioptric power to be obtained, to a spectacle frame with a certain frame edge curve is made available. In the method, a free-form surface formed on a first spectacle lens surface is fitted to the frame edge curve of the spectacle frame. The free-form surface is fitted to the frame edge curve by virtue of the free-form surface and the second spectacle lens surface being optimized with regard to minimizing the difference between the free-form surface edge curve and the frame edge curve and with regard to achieving the at least one dioptric power to be obtained with the spectacle lens.
