  • Patent number: 5372755
    Abstract: A finished ophthalmic lens is made by using a pre-manufactured lens or lens wafer as a part of a mold for making the finished lens. A polymerizable lens material is injected between the lens or lens wafer and a conventional mold member and a trio of indexers are used to rotate the conventional mold member relative to the lens wafer, to adjust the spatial relationship between the conventional mold member and the lens or lens wafer, and to control the angular relation between them. The assembly is subjected to irradiation and the radiation cures the polymerizable lens material and fuses it to the lens wafer so that the lens or lens wafer becomes an integral part of the finished lens. A finished lens is made in less than one hour.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 1993

  • Patent number: 4531297
    Abstract: A measurement device for the mounting of corrective glasses on a spectacle frame. The device has a transparent support for plate 4, the upper part 6 of which is opaque and is provided with a slot 5 acting as an origin for horizontal graduations 4a which are used for the measurement. The device is used for the determination of the height H separating the center of the pupil of the eye from the lowest part 3 of the interior of the spectacle frame circle 2.
