A Progressive Lens Simulator comprises an Eye Tracker, for tracking an eye axis direction to determine a gaze distance, an Off-Axis Progressive Lens Simulator, for generating an Off-Axis progressive lens simulation; and an Axial Power-Distance Simulator, for simulating a progressive lens power in the eye axis direction. The Progressive Lens Simulator can alternatively include an Integrated Progressive Lens Simulator, for creating a Comprehensive Progressive Lens Simulation. The Progressive Lens Simulator can be Head-mounted. A Guided Lens Design Exploration System for the Progressive Lens Simulator can include a Progressive Lens Simulator, a Feedback-Control Interface, and a Progressive Lens Design processor, to generate a modified progressive lens simulation for the patient after a guided modification of the progressive lens design. A Deep Learning Method for an Artificial Intelligence Engine can be used for a Progressive Lens Design Processor. Embodiments include a multi-station system of Progressive Lens Simulators and a Central Supervision Station.

A pair of progressive ophthalmic lenses (1, 2) meets special conditions for improving binocular vision of a wearer, while avoiding discomfort for peripheral vision. A first one of the conditions relates to width values of far vision fields and/or proximate vision fields, for indicating that the fields are different enough in width between both lenses. A second one of the conditions sets a maximum value for the relative difference in mean refractive power gradient between both lenses.

A method for designing a spectacle lens includes: presenting a plurality of blurred images created by applying different degrees of blur to an original image and having a wearer see the blurred images; acquiring information on a sensitivity to blur of the wearer; and designing a spectacle lens based on the information on the sensitivity to blur of the wearer.

Methods and devices for treating a human child having myopia are disclosed. For example, a human child having myopia can be treated by wearing spectacles having one or two myopia control spectacle lenses.

A designing method of a pair of spectacle lenses, which includes a right-eye spectacle lens and a left-eye spectacle lens, includes a process of designing the pair of spectacle lenses; a power error (unit: diopter (D)) that compensates for a difference between a response of accommodation of a right eye and a response of accommodation of a left eye of a wearer, wherein a response of accommodation (unit: diopter (D)) of each eye is a difference AC (=applied accommodation ACN−applied accommodation ACF) between an applied accommodation ACF of the eye of the wearer exhibited when the wearer views an object at a distance f and an applied accommodation ACN of the eye of the wearer exhibited when viewing an object at a distance n shorter than the distance f.

An ophthalmic lens design method includes: acquiring first information about a purpose of an ophthalmic lens; acquiring second information about at least one of a visual line of a wearer for the purpose, a place, a use tool, and a body of the wearer; acquiring data indicating a number of first regions, positions, shapes, and sizes of a plurality of first regions set on a surface of the ophthalmic lens, and distances to a target viewed through the first regions; setting a variable numerical value among numerical values indicating the number of first regions, the positions, the shapes, and the sizes of the plurality of first regions, and the distances in the data and setting the plurality of first regions and the distances on the surface; and setting a target aberration distribution based on the plurality of first regions and the distances that have been set.

An improved method for configuring progressive ophthalmic lenses is disclosed. The method includes computing an improved merit function that modulates reduction of peripheral values of the mean sphere according to the prescription sphere. According to the method the amount of reduction of mean sphere of the lens peripheral regions is dependent on the prescription resulting from a modified merit function. As such, the reduction of peripheral mean sphere varies based on the prescription. According to the modified merit function and resulting improved merit function, the greater the hyperopia and/or presbyopia defined in a prescription, the smaller the reduction of the peripheral value of mean sphere. Accordingly, when the peripheral mean sphere reduction is relaxed, a near region is made wider.

The invention relates to a method for determining a progressive ophthalmic device for personalised visual compensation for an individual, according to which the following steps are performed: a) in a first data acquisition phase, determining at least at a first time preceding the appearance of the presbyopia of this individual, at least one value of at least one individual parameter of said individual, and recording each value of the individual parameter of the wearer in a database, in correlation with an associated temporal indicator, b) in a second determination step of the progressive ophthalmic device for personalised visual compensation, determining a desired value of at least one geometric or optical parameter of said progressive ophthalmic device for visual compensation, taking account of said at least one value of the individual parameter determined in step a) and the associated temporal indicator.
