A spectacle ophthalmic lens mountable on a spectacle frame, the ophthalmic lens including: a fitting cross where the optical power is negative; a first zone extending in a temporal side of the fitting cross, wherein in the first zone when the ophthalmic lens is mounted on the spectacle frame, the optical power increases when a gazing direction moves towards the temporal side, and wherein over a nasal side of the fitting cross, the optical power of the ophthalmic lens is substantially same as at the fitting cross.

A technology concerning a pair of spectacle lenses for binocular vision. In each of the pair of spectacle lenses for binocular vision, when an inner horizontal direction of each of the spectacle lenses is a direction toward the nose of a user who wears the spectacle lenses, and an outer horizontal direction of the spectacle lenses is a direction toward an ear of the user, a portion for viewing an object at finite distance is provided in each of the pair of spectacle lenses for binocular vision and a shape of a base in prism is formed in the position such that a line of sight of a user viewing an object through the portion is directed to a direction that is different from a direction from the object.

A device for determining a head freedom area of an optical lens adapted for a wearer looking at a specific point in a scene through the optical lens comprises at least one input adapted to obtain optical lens data representing the optical features of an optical lens, to obtain wearing data and fitting data representative of the wearing conditions and fitting parameters of the optical lens, and to obtain a specific threshold value for an optical performance criterion; and at least one processor configured for determining the head freedom area that corresponds to the head positions of the wearer that provide optical performances greater than or equal to the specific threshold value when the wearer is wearing the optical lens in given wearing conditions upon given fitting parameters and looking at the specific point in the scene through the optical lens.

A performance evaluation method for a spectacle lens comprising calculating a change rate of a first component and a change rate of a second component with a computer to calculate at least one of a distortion evaluation value and a shaking evaluation value, the first component being a component in a first direction of a prism refractive index, the second component being a component in a second direction of the prism refractive index, the distortion evaluation value being a value for evaluating a distortion regarding a spectacle lens, the shaking evaluation value being a value for evaluating a shaking regarding the spectacle lens.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for reducing dysphotopsia effects, such as haloes and glare, in extended range of vision lenses. Exemplary ophthalmic lenses can include a central zone with a first set of three echelettes arranged around the optical axis, the first set having a profile in r-squared space. An intermediate zone includes a second set of three echelettes arranged around the optical axis, the second set having a profile in r-squared space that is different than the profile of the first set. A peripheral zone includes a third set of three echelettes arranged around the optical axis, the third set having a profile in r-squared space that is different than the profile of the first set and the profile of the second set.

A lens element intended to be worn in front of an eye of a person including a refraction area having a first refractive power based on a prescription for correcting an abnormal refraction of said eye of the person and a second refractive power different from the first refractive power, and a plurality of at least three optical elements, at least one optical element having an optical function of not focusing an image on the retina of the eye so as to slow down the progression of the abnormal refraction of the eye.

An electronic device includes a solar cell, a first light modulating layer, a transmittance-adjustable lens and a control circuit. At least a portion of the first light modulating layer is disposed on the solar cell. The control circuit is electrically connected to the solar cell and the transmittance-adjustable lens.

Method to establish the size of the zones of near A.sub.c, far A.sub.L and intermediate A.sub.i vision of a progressive lens by generating, thanks to virtual reality, a gaze map of the user while following a stimulus in at least two planes at two different distances. Once the gaze maps have been made in those two planes or more, the area of each zone is calculated from the maximum horizontal and vertical amplitudes and the points of maximum frequency. In this way, the lens is adapted to the way a user looks.

A progressive addition lens contains a plurality of microlenses for providing simultaneous myopic defocus. The microlenses are superimposed on a power variation surface of the lens, which includes a designated distance portion in the upper section of the lens adapted for distance vision and a fitting cross; a designated near portion located in the lower section of the lens, the near portion including a near reference point having a near dioptric power adapted for near vision; and a designated intermediate corridor extending between the designated distance portion and near portions. Microlenses are excluded from all areas of the surface located below a notional line extending from nasal to temporal limits of the lens at a vertical coordinate above the near reference point where the vertical coordinate lies at a distance above the near reference point with the distance being in a range between 1.5 mm and 3 mm.

A pair of spectacle lenses for binocular vision. In each of the pair of spectacle lenses for binocular vision, when an inner horizontal direction of each of the spectacle lenses is a direction toward the nose of a user who wears the spectacle lenses, and an outer horizontal direction of each of the spectacle lenses is a direction toward an ear of the user, a portion for viewing an object at finite distance is provided and a shape of a base out prism is formed in the position such that a line of sight of a user viewing an object through the portion is directed to a direction that is different from a direction from the object.
