An optical device includes an electro-optical layer and conductive electrodes disposed over opposing first and second side of the electro-optical layer. Control circuitry is configured to apply at least first control voltage waveforms and second control voltage waveforms between the conductive electrodes so as to generate respective first and second phase modulation profiles in the electro-optical layer, which cause rays of optical radiation that are incident on the device to converge or diverge with respective first and second focal powers, and to change from the first focal power to the second focal power by concurrently applying overshoot control voltages to each of a plurality of the conductive electrodes for different, respective transition periods, followed by application of the second control voltage waveforms.

Examples are directed to an approach to specifying design guidelines for fabricating a free-form optical component, and methods of fabricating the free-form optical components. In one example, a family of optical prescriptions is created, and a fabricator may manufacture the free-form optical element to any selected prescription within the family. According to certain examples, the series of prescriptions in the family each describe a very similar optical surface providing the same or similar optical performance, and are layered relative to one another such that the thickness of the optical element at any point is slightly less for each subsequent surface defined by the next prescription in the series.

An iso(thio)cyanate compound that is a reaction product between an amine compound (A) including at least one selected from a compound (a1) represented by general formula (1) or a compound (a2) represented by general formula (2) and a bi- or higher-functional iso(thio)cyanate compound (B), the iso(thio)cyanate compound having a value of Mw/Mn of 1.31 or less, the value of Mw/Mn being a weight average molecular weight (Mw) divided by a number average molecular weight (Mn).

A spectacle lens including a prism prescription that has an eyeball-side optical surface. When one side is the same side as a prism base direction (nose side) and the other side is an opposite side of the prism base direction with a direction orthogonal to the prism base direction passing through a prism measurement reference point as a boundary, a minimum value of a curvature of the eyeball-side optical surface is on the same side as the prism base direction (nose side). Since a mean curvature becomes smaller in the prism base direction than a mean curvature of the prism measurement reference point and becomes larger in the opposite direction than the mean curvature of the prism measurement reference point across the prism measurement reference point, deviation in line of sight between right and left eyes is resolved.

In a spectacle lens added with prism thinning, a spherical refractive power of a first refractive portion is positive, and a prism base direction of a prism provided at a prism measurement reference point is set toward a second refractive portion side; a mean value of a difference of a mean curvature in a lens curved surface along a direction passing through a midpoint of a connecting line between two alignment reference marks and orthogonal to the connecting line with respect to a mean curvature in a lens curved surface along a direction of a lens without prism is smaller in a first-refractive-portion-side region from a fitting point than that in a second-refractive-portion-side region from the fitting point.
