Patent number: 12298599Abstract: Optimizing a spectacle lens for a wearer of implanted intraocular lenses. The method includes providing individual refraction data on the at least one eye of the spectacle wearer; defining an individual eye model in which at least a shape and/or power of a cornea, in particular a corneal front surface, of a model eye, a cornea-lens distance, parameters of the lens of the model eye, and a lens-retina distance are defined as parameters of the individual eye model. Here, defining the parameters of the individual eye model takes place on the basis of data on visual acuity correction of the at least one eye having the intraocular lens and further on the basis of individual measurement values for the eye of the spectacle wearer and/or standard values and/or on the basis of the provided individual refraction data such that the model eye has the provided individual refraction data.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2020Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: Rodenstock GmbHInventors: Stephan Trumm, Wolfgang Becken, Adam Muschielok, Anne Seidemann, Helmut Altheimer, Gregor Esser

Publication number: 20250057409Abstract: A centering device of a spectacle wearer has a fixation target that generates a flatly extended light field at a measurement location for illuminating an eye of the spectacle wearer. A measurer ascertains a measurement position of the eye when viewing the light field generated by the fixation target. A corrector includes deviation information about a deviation of the light field actually generated at the measurement location by the fixation target from a setpoint light field predetermined at the measurement location, and corrects the ascertained measurement position of the eye when viewing the light field generated at the measurement location, considering the deviation information, to an eye setpoint position which the eye would prospectively adopt at the measurement location if it were to view the predetermined setpoint light field there. A parameter calculator ascertains, based on the eye setpoint position, an optical centering parameter to be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Stephan Trumm, Michel Stutz, Lukas Gromann
