Abstract: A method of surfacing a surface of a spectacle lens, includes a step of determining a fixed rotation speed (Vrot) of the lens based on geometric characteristics of the surface, wherein the step of determining the rotation speed (Vrot) includes the following steps: generating (102), based on the geometric characteristics of the surface (12), a file of geometric altitude values of the surface, the file being centered on a zero geometric altitude value at a predetermined reference point; determining (103) a value representative of the greatest difference (MaxHk) in geometric altitude values on the surface; deducing (107) the rotation speed (Vrot) from the value of the greatest difference (MaxHk) in geometric altitude values on the surface and from a geometric value of the cylinder at a predetermined far-vision control point.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for measuring and/or controlling a polishing process of an ophthalmic element (1) comprising the steps of manufacturing at least two cavities (2, 3) on the surface of the element to be polished, the depth of the first cavity (2) being smaller than the depth of the second cavity (3) operating the polishing process considering the element (1), in order to check that the first cavity (2) is suppressed and that the second cavity (3) is present.
