Systems and methods for controlling an ophthalmic lens edging machine are disclosed. The ophthalmic lens edging machine uses an edger code to select a macro or speed for a requested lens edging job. A system for creating and using the edger code may include a Lab Management System (LMS), a lens calculation system, and a lens edging machine. An edger code may be generated using lens data received from a lens management system and edging machine information identifying one or target lens edging machines. The edger code comprises a plurality of characters. Each character is associated with a different feature of a requested edging job. The features of the requested edging job may include, for example, one or more of: a material type, a lens thickness, an edge type, a frame type, a lens coating, a lens shape, a lens ratio, a lens treatment, and an edging machine block type.

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.

Disclosed is a method of preparing an operation of surfacing of a lens blank to transform the lens blank into a generated lens having a predetermined prism corresponding to an inclination between a front surface and a back surface of the generated lens at least locally. The method includes: for a plurality of devices destined to interact with the lens blank during the operation of surfacing to manufacture the predetermined prism of the generated lens, attributing a priority order to each; based on the priority order, attributing to each device a prism portion which is zero or included in a respective range delimited by a respective minimum prism portion and a respective maximum prism portion, the prism portion representing contribution of the corresponding device to the prism of the generated lens, for further interaction of each device with the lens blank during the operation of surfacing.

A blocking device for positioning and blocking an optical element to an insert at a given position, including an insert having a surface intended to be blocked against a face of the optical element with a glue material, the insert being positioned in respect with a blocking station; at least three pins to support the optical element at the given position, wherein the height of the extremity of each pin is adjustable independently of each other, the extremities being configured to position the optical element at the given position; and a locking device to hold the position of the optical element at the given position while the glue material is solidifying, the locking device including a lock associated with each pin.

A lens blocker includes a drive cam having a blocker arm guide groove; a blocker arm coupled to the drive cam to be movable up and down along the drive cam or to be rotatable about the drive cam, and having a blocker arm guide formed at one end thereof, wherein the blocker arm guide is inserted into the blocker arm guide groove of the drive cam and moves along the blocker arm guide groove; a leap block mount (50), to which a leap block to be attached to a blank lens is mounted and which is coupled to the blocker arm; a blocker arm base moving the blocker arm up and down along the drive cam; and a lens mount onto which the blank lens, is mounted.

A method for determining a contour of a frame groove in a rim of a spectacle frame includes illuminating the rim, capturing a plurality of images of the illuminated rim from different predetermined perspectives, evaluating the captured images, and determining a spatial curve of the frame groove based on the evaluated images. The rim is illuminated along the entire circumference of the rim by directed illumination. Moreover, the evaluation of the captured images includes assigning each portion contained in the captured images to a respective surface element of the frame groove on the basis of at least one of the following properties: shadowing of the respective portion, brightness of the respective portion and phase angle of the illumination of the respective portion. Moreover, an apparatus, a computer program, a method for grinding a spectacle lens, and a computer-implemented method for determining a geometry of a spectacle lens are disclosed.
