  • Patent number: 10649232
    Abstract: This invention relates to an ophthalmic lens with a low reflection both in the ultraviolet region and in the visible region, comprising a substrate provided on its rear main face with a multilayered antireflective coating (3-7 layers) comprising a stack of at least one layer with a high refractive index and at least one layer with a low refractive index, having a mean reflection factor on the rear face in the visible region Rm lower than or equal to 1.15%, a mean light reflection factor on the rear face in the visible region Rv lower than or equal to 1%, a mean reflection factor RUV on the rear face between 280 nm and 380 nm, weighted by the function W(?) defined in the ISO 13666:1998 standard, lower than 5%, for angles of incidence of 30° and 45°, the antireflective coating outer layer being a silica-based layer.

  • Patent number: 8379195
    Abstract: According to the invention, in order to visualize the ultraviolet radiation reflection power of a glasses lens (10), a face of said lens is exposed to an ultraviolet radiation in order to reflect a portion of said radiation. The portion of the reflected radiation then activates a developer surface (3) having a visual appearance that changes under the influence of the received ultraviolet radiation. The developer surface is watched in real time by an observer (100). Such a visualization is particularly quick, simple and demonstrative, and can be used in an optician's shop to help a client chose a glasses lens.

  • Patent number: 7800827
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a vision correction lens that has a front face and a rear face, and into which light beams emitted by an optical element of a light beam generator system are introduced via an entry surface and directed towards the eye of the wearer to enable information content to be viewed, said light beams being reflected a plurality of times between two “reflection” faces between being introduced into the lens and exiting therefrom, said two reflection faces being faces of a transparent optical insert constituted by a light guide. According to the invention, said insert is completely contained within the lens.

  • Publication number: 20090169859
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an article comprising a substrate having a main surface coated with a coating, part of which at least is mesoporous and has a refractive index profile with optical function, whose variation is imposed by the mesopore content and/or the filling ratio of the mesopores. The profile may be such that the refractive index varies depending on the distance to a given axis, or such that the refractive index variation is monotone, decreasing along any axis which is perpendicular to the surface of the substrate underlying the mesoporous part of said coating and oriented away from the substrate. The present invention also relates to methods for making said article, which differ depending on the technique from which the refractive index profile is created. The invention is applicable to ophthalmic optics.
