  • Patent number: 10310297
    Abstract: Method for determining optical equipment comprising at least one optical lens and a spectacle frame. Wearer data relating to the wearer's optical requirements, wearer's face morphology and optical equipment position on the wearer face are provided. An optical cost function is provided related to an optical function of the at least one optical lens when worn by said wearer. A light protection cost function is provided related to a spectral irradiance estimation over the wearer eye and/or wearer skin in a peri-orbital zone of the wearer eye under a given condition when said optical equipment is worn by said wearer. The optical equipment that minimizes the difference between a global cost function and a target value of the global cost function is determined, the global cost function being a function of the optical and the light protection cost functions.

  • Patent number: 10254563
    Abstract: Method for defining one face of an ophthalmic lens, having a surface formed by superposing a Fresnel layer and a continuous surface referred to as the “carrier”. Also disclosed is an ophthalmic lens comprising such a face. The method allows a Fresnel layer to be defined that compensates for geometric effects induced by a variation in the curvature of the carrier on the light incident on the face of an ophthalmic lens. This method is particularly useful when the curvature of the face of the ophthalmic lens is adapted to facilitate fitting it into a spectacle frame.

  • Patent number: 10108028
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a method for determining a geometric definition of a piece of personalized optical equipment adapted to its wearer, comprising at least one geometric definition of a personalized frame of this piece of personalized equipment. In one embodiment, the geometric definition of said personalized frame is determined depending on at least one geometric parameter of personalization of the frame and on a reference frame chosen by the wearer. Further, the value of said at least one geometric parameter of personalization of the frame being determined on the basis of the acquisition of data relating to at least one morphological quantity of the head of the wearer, in such a way that the personalized frame is adjusted to conform with a least one criterion of adjustment of personalization of the geometry of the frame with respect to the morphological quantity of the head of the wearer.

  • Patent number: 9482884
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining an ophthalmic lens. In one implementation, three-dimensional coordinates of a center of rotation of the wearer's eye measured on the wearer in binocular vision are received. At least one direction of gaze measured in a natural posture and a determined position of the ophthalmic lens are received. Characteristics of the ophthalmic lens are calculated by using the coordinates measured for the center of rotation of the eye, the determined position of the lens, and the at least one direction of gaze measured in a natural posture. The characteristics of the ophthalmic lens are calculated by positioning a starting ophthalmic lens in the determined position and modifying the starting ophthalmic lens by wavefront analysis and/or optimizing using ray tracing dependent on the coordinates measured for the center of rotation of the eye and the determined position of the lens.

  • Publication number: 20150309338
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining an ophthalmic lens for a wearer's eye, the method comprising the following steps: measurement, on the wearer in binocular vision, of the three-dimensional coordinates of the centre of rotation (COR) of the wearer's eye; measurement (10) of at least one viewing direction in a natural posture; determination of the desired position of the ophthalmic lens; calculation of the characteristics of the ophthalmic lens using the measured coordinates and the determined position and the measured direction in the natural posture. Measuring the position of the centre of rotation of the eye in binocular vision ensures that the lens obtained is best adapted for the wearer.
