Method for manufacturing an ophthalmic lens

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an ophthalmic lens including a substrate and a functional film securely fastened to a curved face of the substrate. This method includes a method for gluing the initially flat functional film to the curved face. To ensure that the functional film when securely fastened to the curved face filters a preset band of wavelengths centered on a wavelength denoted λp, multiple functional films are preselected; two knowledge bases are established experimentally; a film is selected, using the two knowledge bases, from the plurality of preselected films, the wavelength λi′ on which is centered the band of wavelengths that this film filters for a certain degree of deformation being equal to λp when the degree of deformation is that given for the curvature in question; and the gluing method is implemented in order to securely fasten the selected film to the curved face.

Method of virtually trying on eyeglasses

A method of virtually trying on eyeglasses includes capturing a plurality of images of a user's face, obtaining locations of a plurality of feature points on the user's face in the plurality of images, and using the locations of the plurality of feature points in the plurality of images to create a standard three-dimensional model of the user. Next, a selection is received from the user of a pair of virtual eyeglasses, the selected pair of virtual eyeglasses having a corresponding three-dimensional model depicting the size and shape of the selected pair of virtual eyeglasses. After this, a modified three-dimensional model of the user having the selected pair of virtual eyeglasses superimposed on the user's face is created according to the standard three-dimensional model of the user and the corresponding three-dimensional model of the selected pair of virtual eyeglasses. The result is then displayed for the user to see.

METHOD FOR STORING INFORMATION ON A SPECTACLES LENS, SPECTACLES LENS BLANK OR SPECTACLES LENS SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCT

Information is stored in an optical element in the form of a glass or plastic body embodied as spectacles lens, spectacles lens blank or spectacles lens semi-finished product. The information in the form of data is stored on or in the glass or plastic body by creating at least one marking with a marking system. The marking can be read by a reading apparatus. The marking system has an interface for reading information individualizing the optical element. The marking is created permanently by the marking system on or in the optical element at a definition point of a local body-specific coordinate system set by two points on or in the optical element. In this body coordinate system, the manufacturer specifies the position of the lens horizontal and/or the far and/or the near and/or the prism reference point.
