Abstract: A system and method of generating machine marking instructions for marking an ophthalmic lens is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of receiving lens order data related to a lens order, receiving an initial marking layout and calculating, using the lens order data, ophthalmic lens data of an ophthalmic lens related to the lens order. The method also comprises the steps of determining, using the ophthalmic lens data, marking parameters relating to the ophthalmic lens, producing an additional marking layout by modifying the initial marking layout using the marking parameters and the lens order data, the additional marking layout representing the markings to be applied to the ophthalmic lens, and generating machine marking instructions arranged to cause a marking machine to mark the ophthalmic lens in accordance with the additional marking layout.

Abstract: A system, ophthalmic lens manufacturing equipment, and method for providing an ophthalmic lens. The method includes transmitting an order request of an ophthalmic lens from an ordering side to an ophthalmic lens calculator, the order request including at least prescription data of a wearer of the ophthalmic lens, generating an ophthalmic lens model from the order request, the ophthalmic lens model containing data related to the ophthalmic lens to be provided, the ophthalmic lens model data including geometrical data related to the ophthalmic lens, the geometrical data of the ophthalmic lens model being coded by using mathematical functions to define surfaces of the ophthalmic lens in a continuous way. The method further includes receiving the ophthalmic lens model and the order request at a management entity, and transmitting the ophthalmic lens model from the management entity to an ophthalmic lens manufacturing module.

Abstract: The invention proposes a system for providing an ophthalmic lens, comprising:—a calculator (1) configured to receive an order request of the lens from an ordering side (4), and to generate, in response to the reception of the order request, a model containing data related to the lens to be provided,—a management entity (2) configured to receive the order request and the model, and to transmit the model to a manufacturing module,—a manufacturing module (3) configured to receive the model, and to use a functions library to calculate manufacturing process data from the model data.
