A device and a method for processing, in particular edge processing, an optical lens, wherein the device has a measuring system, a processing system, a loading system, an unloading system, an intermediate conveyor, and a belt conveyor. The loading system is arranged between the measuring system and the processing system. The unloading system is arranged on the opposite side of the processing system. A lens that is to be processed is picked up and oriented at the optical reference point that is determined by the measuring system in order to determine as precisely as possible the blocking point for the subsequent processing. The loading system and unloading system each have a linearly movable swiveling system with linearly movable suction devices arranged therein. The processing system is designed for the simultaneous processing of two lenses.

A device (1) for cutting an ophthalmic lens (L1) to be mounted onto a spectacle frame, includes: elements (10) for locking and rotating the ophthalmic lens about a locking axis (A1); a tool holder which supports at least one first tool (60) rotatable about a rotational axis (A2) and a second tool (80) rotatable about a finishing axis (A6) and which has a spacing mobility (ESC) for the spacing apart thereof from the locking axis, a shifting mobility (TRA) for the axial positioning thereof along the locking axis, and a pivoting mobility (PIV) for adjusting the orientation of the rotational axis relative to the locking axis; and elements for controlling the three mobilities of the tool holder. The rotational and finishing axes are separate from one another.

Exemplary apparatus for method for forming at least one spectral encoding endoscopy configuration. For example, it is possible to modify a spacer configuration and an lens optics configuration to have respective predetermined lengths, and also to modify a dispersive optics configuration to have a further predetermined length. Further, the modified spacer and modified lens optics configurations can be attached to one another to form a combined spacer-lens optics configuration. The modified dispersive optics configuration can be attached to a substrate to form to form a grating substrate configuration. Additionally, the combined spacer-lens optics configuration can be connected to an optical fiber, and the modified attached dispersed optics configuration can be connected to the modified attached lens optics configuration to form the spectral encoding endoscopy configuration(s) which can extends along a particular axis. The dispersive optics configuration can be modified to be at a predetermined angle with respect to the particular axis.

An opaque adhesive can be used to secure the convex surface of a lens blank to a lens blocking piece. This opaque adhesive can include a resin that is curable under ultraviolet light and contains many dispersed pigment particles. The pigment particles may absorb light in the wavelength range of about 300 nm to about 800 nm such that the adhesive appears substantially opaque. A lens-on-block (LOB) system that uses the opaque adhesive to adhere a lens blank to a lens blocking piece facilitates on-block inspection of surface defects by increasing the contrast of light reflected from the surface being inspected. Put differently, the defects in the lens blank's surfaces stand out more when viewed in front of the opaque adhesive The inspection results can be used to carry out rework loops that eliminate or correct the detected defects, providing a streamlined method for on-block manufacturing of ophthalmic lenses.

An ophthalmic-lens holder (200) includes a plate (210) and three pads (250) which are mounted on the plate and rise up above the latter to offer free ends (271) via which they can bear the ophthalmic lens. At least one of the three pads is movably mounted on the plate.

Disclosed is a machine for acquiring images (1) including: a support (10) for optical lens, on one side of the support, a light source (20), on the other side of the support, an image sensor (30) suitable for capturing at least two images of the optical lens illuminated by the light source, viewed from two different angles.
