  • Patent number: 6709107
    Abstract: The composite ophthalmic lens (1) comprises a first layer (2), at least 200 micrometers thick, forming a front part of said lens, of a first polymeric material of refractive index higher than or equal to 1.60 and having a front face (4) constituting a front optical surface S1, and a second layer (3), at least 200 micrometers thick, of a second polymeric material forming a rear part of said lens and having a rear face (6) constituting a rear optical surface S2, the interface (5) between these two layers constituting an optical surface S3 parallel to the rear optical surface S2.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6229654
    Abstract: The transparent article with radial gradient index, according to the invention, comprises a matrix made of a first transparent polymer having a first refractive index n1 and a first Abbe number &ngr;1, a second transparent polymer, diffused into the first polymer in order to produce the radial gradient index and having a second refractive index n2, different than the first refractive index, and a second Abbe number &ngr;2, characterized in that it furthermore comprises an effective amount of an Abbe number modifier agent which reduces by at least 10%, preferably by at least 15%, and more preferably by at least 20%, the value of the Abbe number of that of the first or second polymer which has the refractive index with lower value.
