  • Publication number: 20120147324
    Abstract: A method implemented by computer means for optimizing the design of a spectacle ophthalmic lens comprising: a) providing the residual astigmatism value and orientation data of a spectacle ophthalmic lens design for at least one gaze direction; b) providing the astigmatism and coma values and orientations data of an eye of a wearer; c) providing an optimized spectacle ophthalmic lens comprising adapting the management of astigmatism and coma of an lens-eye system based on a combination of the astigmatism and coma of the lens-eye system so as to improve the acuity versus distortion for the wearer's eye and where the lens-eye system consists of the spectacle ophthalmic lens design and the wearer's eye, with the proviso that the RMS value of the astigmatism of the lens-eye system is equal or greater to 0.025 ?m and that the RMS value of the coma of the lens-eye system is equal or greater to 0.025 ?m. A computer program product carrying out at least one of the steps.

  • Publication number: 20120105801
    Abstract: An optical system is configured using a coordinate system such that an origin 1 is placed at a middle point of centers of rotations 1L and 1R of both eyeballs 10L and 10R, and an object is specified in a viewing direction from the origin 1. A reference value of an angle of convergence ?CH0 is calculated with lines of fixations 13L0 and 13R0, a viewing direction of the lines of fixation being an object 12 which is placed at an intersection point at which the lines of fixations 13L0 and 13R0 cross after passing through design reference points 11PL and 11 PR of eyeglass lenses 11L, 11R. The angle of convergence is calculated with the lines of fixations which extend to an object evaluation point in an arbitrary viewing direction and pass the eyeglass lenses, and a convergence aberration is calculated from a difference between the angle of convergence and the reference value of the angle of convergence ?CHO.

  • Publication number: 20120099075
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the optimization of human visual function by correcting and/or optimizing high-order optical aberrations in high performance optical devices. The optimization is particularly useful for high performance devices used under low light conditions such as binoculars, rifle scopes, telescopes, microscopes, night vision goggles and laser eye protection devices.

  • Publication number: 20120081661
    Abstract: With respect to the evaluation of custom-made eyeglass lenses using a binocular visual acuity function, a measumrnet value including essentially at least one of or both of a positive relative convergence or a negative relative convergence of the positive relative convergence, the negative relative convergence, a positive relative accommodation, a negative relative accommodation and a vertical fusional vergence is provided as a factor.
