  • Patent number: 10690939
    Abstract: A pair of spectacle progressive lenses configured for a wearer suffering from convergence insufficiency or imbalance. The lens of the pair which is dedicated to the dominant eye has inset values appropriate for matching convergence of the dominant eye, but the other lens of the pair, which is dedicated to the non-dominant eye, has inset values substantially equal to zero. Such lens pair helps in suppressing the non-dominant eye for intermediate and near vision tasks, therefore avoiding or limiting symptoms of convergence insufficiency.

  • Publication number: 20190353927
    Abstract: A method is provided for providing a selection chart of non-prescription ophthalmic lenses. The method comprises providing at least one optical performance parameter threshold (OPPT) associated to an optical performance parameter (OPP); choosing the selection criterion (SC) among the selection criteria of the list consisting of: lens base curve; lens pantoscopic angle; and lens wrap angle; choosing a selection criterion range (SCR) for each of the chosen selection criterion; calculating selection domains (SD) defined by sub-ranges for each of the chosen SC within the SCR so as to determine and associate in each SD a single non-prescription ophthalmic lens with a spherical front surface, a complex back surface and a lens base curve. All the chosen OPPs are equal or less to the OPPT for all values of the SC within the SD associated to the single non-prescription ophthalmic lens.
