  • Patent number: 8814354
    Abstract: A process for designing an ophthalmic progressive eyeglass comprises providing an initial front surface and an initial back surface. Respective addition values of front and back surfaces of the eyeglass are varied based on said initial front and back surfaces using a surface derivation tool. These surface addition values are selected so that the eyeglass exhibits an eyeglass addition value which matches a wearer's prescription and a value for a design feature which matches a target value. Said target value may be used for customizing the ophthalmic progressive eyeglass. The process does not require point-to-point surface optimization.

  • Patent number: 8128226
    Abstract: A method for the determination by optical optimization of a personalized progressive ophthalmic lens intended to be inserted into a frame chosen by a given wearer for whom a power addition has been prescribed in near vision, the method comprising the stages of: measuring parameters representing the frame chosen by the wearer; choosing an initial distribution of power and resulting astigmatism defect targets for each direction of viewing under wearing conditions in an ordinary frame; calculating transformation coefficients using the measured parameters representing the chosen frame and standard parameters; calculating a personalized distribution of the power and resulting astigmatism defect targets on the lens by applying the calculated transformation coefficients to the initial distribution. The method makes it possible to retain the proportion of the distribution between the far-vision, near-vision and intermediate-vision zones whatever the size and the shape of the frame chosen.
