  • Patent number: 11221505
    Abstract: In a method for checking the centration of at least one spectacle lens, the spectacle lens is arranged in a field of capture of an image capturer; at least one image of the spectacle lens is captured by means of the image capturer; and positions of functional engravings of the spectacle lens in the captured image are determined. Furthermore, at least one lens contour of the at least one spectacle lens in the captured image is determined and the centration of the spectacle lens is checked taking into account the determined positions of the functional engravings, the determined lens contour and a known, wearer-dependent target geometry of the centration.

  • Patent number: 6213603
    Abstract: A progressive ophthalmic lens including at least one distant vision zone in which the power is suitable for distant viewing, at least one near vision zone in which the power is suitable for near viewing, and at least one progression zone in which the power varies continuously from the power of the distant vision zone to the power of the near vision zone along a principal line, at least one surface of the ophthalmic lens contributing to the power variation. A surface astigmatism of the at least one of surface of the ophthalmic lens contributing to the power variation along at least one horizontal intersection, represented by an intersection of the ophthalmic lens and a horizontal plane where y=const, has a local maximum value located at a distance of not more than 4 mm from the principal line, and at least one local minimum value which does not lie on the principal line and is located at a greater distance from the principal line than the local maximum value.

  • Patent number: 5854669
    Abstract: The present description refers to a series of progressive lenses, wherein the lenses present a different surface power in the distance-vision part and/or a different increase of the surface power from the distance-vision part towards the near-vision part (termed addition Add hereinafter), and whereof eachcomprises a front surface having a continuously varying surface power which increases from the respective value BK ?dpt!, which is suitable for distance vision, at the point having the coordinates x=0 mm, y=8 mm in the lower region of the distance-vision part along a wound line (primary line), which coincides approximately with the primary line of view, with eyes dropped, towards a value suitable for near vision in the upper region of the near-vision part, which value is greater than the value of the surface power BK in the lower region of the distance-vision part by the value ADD ?dpt! of the addition, andhaving a surface, in particular the surface on the concave side, which has a spherical shape or an asphe
