Abstract: The invention relates to a device for determining the center of rotation of an eye of a person relative to a frame of reference associated with the person or with said person's eyeglasses, making it possible to determine the visual axis of the person along at least two non-parallel directions by viewing a target, and to define an optimum point of intersection of said axes as the center of rotation of the eye, at least two relative positions of said target and of the person's head being measured. In the invention, said target is constituted by a light source and is disposed at one end of a tubular support, with the other end being for disposing facing the person's eye, the support carrying a first position sensor, a second position sensor being for placing on the person's head.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the behavior of ophthalmic lens wearers. More specifically, it relates to systems and methods for measuring or characterizing ophthalmic lens wearer behavior.

Abstract: An ophthalmic lens (10) comprises an optical component (1) and a layer (2) placed on a face of the optical component (1a). The layer (2) has a variable refractive index and is structured so that a second order derivative of the index with regard to a linear spatial coordinate along the face of the optical component (1a) is greater than a fixed threshold. The layer (2) makes it possible to alter the optical power and astigmatism of the lens (10) with regard to corresponding values only relative to the optical component (1). In the event that the ophthalmic lens (10) is a progressive lens, the layer (2) makes it possible to change an addition, a length of progression and/or a design of the progressive lens.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fitting, in a frame, a progressive ophthalmic lens prescribed for a wearer. It proposes that only the horizontal position of the wearer's pupil be measured on the wearer. From this measurement, and from the total height of the pattern of the frame, the lens is positioned in the frame, and is then machined and fitted into the frame. The invention makes it possible, when fitting lenses, to avoid the errors brought about by the measuring of the height of the wearer's pupil with respect to the frame.

Abstract: There is provided a spectacle frame 1, having a least one corrective lens the characteristics of which do not vary over time and having telemetry means 5 which set off an alarm 9, 10 when the distance measured by the telemetry means is less than a predetermined preference distance. This reference distance can for example be set at between 20 and 50 cm depending on the spectacle wearer. A kit is also provided comprising a frame, telemetry means and an alarm. The spectacle frame can be prescribed for slowing down the evolution of acquired myopia in children who are starting to acquire myopia; here, the spectacle frame is provided with progressive multifocal lenses. The telemetry means and alarm incite the child to respect a sufficient working distance for close vision.
