Patent number: 12541119Abstract: System for order-receipt processing of an eyeglass lens, including: a receiver configured to receive order data of eyeglass lens, to store a catalog of eyeglass lens classes, which each are defined by a fixed number of predetermined and freely selectable order parameters and differ from each other in the number of freely selectable order parameters, and to classify the order data on the basis of the catalog of eyeglass lens classes, a processor configured to process the order data, to store only the highest eyeglass lens classes of the catalog of eyeglass lens classes, to select one of the highest eyeglass lens classes, to match the order data to the selected highest eyeglass lens class, to generate a respective digital reproduction of the eyeglass lens based on a calculation model and the adapted order data, and a communication device connecting the receiver and the processor.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: February 3, 2026Assignee: Rodenstock GmbHInventors: Patrick Kerner, Martin Zimmermann, Andrea Heigl, Leonhard Schmid

Publication number: 20240302678Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining biometric data of an eye and a corresponding method for manufacturing spectacle lenses taking into account the biometric data determined. The method includes: providing individual standard data of a user, the standard data including prescription data including a distance prescription and/or a near prescription of at least one eye of a user; and calculating individual additional data including at least one individual biometric parameter of the at least one eye of the user based on the individual standard data and using a statistical model describing a relation between the standard data and the additional data, wherein the statistical model has been derived using statistical analysis of a training data set with a plurality of reference data sets, each of the reference data sets including standard data and additional data associated with the standard data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2021Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Gregor Esser, Adam Muschielok, Helmut Altheimer, Wolfgang Becken, Anne Seidemann, Patrick Kerner, Martin Zimmermann, Lukas Gromann, Leonhard Schmid, Dietmar Uttenweiler, Stephan Trumm

Patent number: 8182087Abstract: A method for producing a spectacle lens or a spectacle lens pair is provided according to the invention, comprising a calculation or optimization step of at least one of the surfaces of the spectacle lens in consideration of an anisometropia of the eyes of a spectacle wearer, the calculation or optimization step being performed in such a way that a target function is minimized. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product, a storage medium, a device for performing the method, and a spectacle lens pair and its use for correcting an anisometropia of a spectacle wearer.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2007Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Rodenstock GmbHInventors: Gregor Esser, Leonhard Schmid, Helmut Altheimer, Wolfgang Becken

Publication number: 20110007269Abstract: A method and apparatus provided to measure optical parameters of a person wearing spectacles. One or more fixation targets are provided to generate a flat extensive light field that can align the direction of sight of the person when the person looks at the light filed. Image recording devices are provided to generate image data of subareas of the person's head and a data processing unit can determine the optical parameters based on the generated image data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2008Publication date: January 13, 2011Inventors: Stephan Trumm, Rainer Sessner, Andrea Peters, Leonhard Schmid, Dietmar Uttenweiler, Jochen Brosig
