Patent number: 11633928Abstract: A spectacle lens, which is manufactured by additive manufacturing, includes interspersing first volume elements and second volume elements. The first and second volume elements are arranged on the grid points of a geometric grid to form a first sub-grid and a second sub-grid, respectively. The first sub-grid forms the first part of the spectacle lens having a dioptric effect for vision for a first object distance and the second sub-grid forms the second part of the spectacle lens having a dioptric effect for vision for a second object distance, which differs from the first object distance.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Timo Mappes, Matthias Hornauer, Georg Michels, Thomas Glöge

Patent number: 11543680Abstract: A spectacle lens includes a first volume element group containing a plurality of first volume elements. The plurality of first volume elements is made from a material with a first Abbe number in the form of grid points of a geometric grid. Further, the spectacle lens includes a second volume group containing a plurality of second volume elements, which form a second partial grid in the form of grid points of a geometric grid, the second volume elements being made of a second material having a second Abbe number, wherein the first Abbe number and the second Abbe number differ from each other. The first partial grid and the second partial grid are arranged offset from each other. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding computer-implemented method for designing a spectacle lens of the type and to a method for producing the type of spectacle lens.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventor: Thomas Glöge

Patent number: 11400668Abstract: A process, in particular a 3D printing process, for producing a spectacle lens is disclosed. The process includes providing a coated substrate, providing a three-dimensional model of the spectacle lens, digitally cutting the three-dimensional model into individual two-dimensional layers, providing at least one printing ink, typically a 3D printing ink, building up the spectacle lens from the sum of the individual two-dimensional layers with a printing operation on the substrate, and hardening of the spectacle lens. The hardening can take place completely or partially after application of individual volume elements or after application of a layer, and the partial hardening can be completed after conclusion of the printing process.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Bernhard von Blanckenhagen, Michael Totzeck, Thomas Glöge

Patent number: 11126013Abstract: A spectacle lens has an object-side front surface and an eye-side rear surface and is made of a base material that includes an ultraviolet (UV) absorber, which functions as a band-stop filter for UV light. In a first variant, the band-stop filter has an upper cut-off wavelength between 325 nm and 360 with a transmittance of 2% for light which is incident on the front surface, transmitted through the spectacle lens, and emerges from the rear surface for each angle of incidence between 0° and 15°. Additionally or alternatively, in a second variant, the spectacle lens has an antireflective coating with a reflectance below 5% for UV light in a wavelength range between 280 nm and a threshold wavelength, which lies between 325 nm and 350 nm, and a reflectance of 5% at the threshold wavelength for each angle of incidence between 30° and 45°.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Michael Krause, Thomas Glöge, Christian Lappe, Timo Kratzer, Siegfried Wahl
