  • Publication number: 20180157062
    Abstract: When an addition power at a position corresponding to a fitting point within a prescription addition power is greater than a target addition power set according to a target distance, the target addition power is set as an addition power between a progression-start point and a progression-end point on a principal meridian, and in addition the average gradient of an addition power between the progression-start point and the fitting point is set to differ from an average gradient of an addition power between the fitting point and the progression-end point. When the addition power at the position corresponding to the fitting point within the prescription addition power is equal to or smaller than the target addition power, a gradient of the addition power is made constant in a partial region including at least the fitting point between the progression-start point and the progression-end point on the principal meridian.

  • Publication number: 20180149883
    Abstract: A vision simulation, on assumption that spectacles are worn, is performed for a first model designed by setting a target additional power of a desirable value at a position corresponding to a fitting point on a principal meridian. A correction amount is computed for correcting the difference between a simulation value obtained for the additional power at the position corresponding to the fitting point on the principal meridian through the vision simulation and the target additional power. A second model is designed by replacing the additional power with a value obtained by the addition of the calculated correction amount to the target additional power.
