It is proposed a method for defining a design of an ophthalmic tinted lens provided with a turquoise blue ophthalmic filter. It is provided at least one optical parameter value that is prescribed with reference to a clear ophthalmic lens. At least one non-null optical power value is determined from said at least one prescribed optical parameter value. At least one reduction value is obtained. At least one reduced optical power value is calculated in function of said at least one non-null optical power value and said at least one reduction value. The ophthalmic tinted lens design is defined on the basis of said at least one reduced optical power value. Methods for defining a design of a first and a second ophthalmic tinted lens are also proposed. It is also proposed a corresponding ophthalmic tinted lens.

The disclosure relates to methods, controlling units, eyeglasses, computer programs and computer-readable storage media for controlling an optical transmission of a variable transmission ophthalmic lens. The method includes receiving from a light sensor a measured illuminance of the environment of a wearer, computing a change of illuminance measured during a predetermined time interval, comparing the computed change of illuminance with a first threshold, when the computed change of illuminance is greater than the first threshold, implementing first command configured for varying the transmission of the variable transmission ophthalmic lens from initial transmission value corresponding to a current transmission value to a first target transmission value, according to a first variation profile comprising a first phase during which the transmission overshoots the first target transmission value, and a second phase during which the transmission returns to the first target transmission value.

An optical article, such as a spectacle lens, includes, on a substrate, a photochromic layer containing a photochromic dye and a resin component, and a protective layer. The indentation hardness of the photochromic layer in the thickness direction is in a range from 0.1 to 10 mgf/μm2. The value defined by the indentation hardness of the protective layer in the thickness direction multiplied by the thickness of the protective layer is five or more times and nine thousand or less times the value defined by the indentation hardness of the photochromic layer in the thickness direction multiplied by the thickness of the photochromic layer.

Sleep-aiding eyewear that prevents light which inhibits melatonin production from reaching the eye is described. The eyewear that is the object of the present disclosure has improved visibility over other methods of cutting off melatonin-inhibiting wavelengths of light, which enables the user to perform tasks, such as reading and typing, uninhibited. This is achieved in some embodiments using a Bragg grating comprising multiple layers of alternating reflective index material as a surface coating on the lens. This may be combined with lens-tinting, or antireflective coatings, in the eyewear. Furthermore, transition lenses which block melatonin-shifting light when there is a suitable external stimulus, such as blue light from a light emitting diode, are described. The presently described filters are also useful for electronic displays and functional light-transmitting materials.

Provided is a spectacle lens, having a lens substrate including a blue light absorbable compound, and a multilayer film including a chromium layer with a film thickness of 1.0 to 10.0 nm, blue light cut rate being 21.0% or more, a dominant wavelength measured at the object side surface of the spectacle lens falling within a range of 500.0 to 550.0 nm, and a dominant wavelength measured at the eyeball side surface of the spectacle lens falling within a range of 500.0 to 550.0 nm.

A scleral contact lens has a core containing an optical filter. The core and/or the optical filter may comprise oxygen impermeable material, such that an overall oxygen permeability of the core is insufficient to oxygenate a user's cornea when wearing the contact lens. To provide oxygenation to the user's cornea, the contact lens further comprises an outer covering, and an inner covering, each corresponding to a thin layer of gas-permeable material shaped to form a respective manifold between the covering and the core. Oxygen from an outside environment passes through the outer covering to reach the outer manifold, through an air path formed within the core to the inner manifold, and through the inner covering to reach the cornea of the user's eye.

The present invention provides a UV antireflective coating stack for ophthalmic lenses. The antireflective coating stack is deposited by sputtering, which lowers the reflectivity of the antireflective stack in the UV range and maintains low reflectivity in the visible range. The antireflective coating stack offers improved thermo-mechanical performance as compared to evaporation-based UV antireflective stacks.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a series of PC resin additives for maintaining the color stability and blue-cut performance during injection molding. The additives may be used to adapt a PC resin customarily used for sun protection lenses for clear lens applications.
