Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ophthalmic lenses for eyeglasses or spectacles, in particular single vision lenses, and method of designing such lenses.
  • Single vision lenses have one, consistent focal power, i.e. the same power of correction across its whole surface, to correct a single vision condition.
  • various factors may be used to form the final lenses. Integration of the lens into the selected frame and how the frame sits or rests on a person's face in relation to the person's eye(s) also needs to be taken into account. Accordingly, various measurements may need to be taken to ensure that the lenses, once manufactured and mounted to the spectacle frames, are positioned so that the corrective properties of the lenses are optimized.
  • the ophthalmic measurements may include one or more of the following: frame relating parameter(s), a back vertex distance (BVD) measurement, a seg height measurement (optional for single vision lenses, relevant for progressive or multifocal lenses), and a pupillary distance measurement.
  • the frame relating parameter(s), or so-called wear parameter(s) may include one or more of following: frame pantoscopic tilt, frame panoramic tilt, frame BVD, frame width, frame height, bridge width or distance between lenses (DBL) when mounted in the frame.
  • the need to measure frame relating parameters is associated with the fact that the frames are not straight up and down, instead the eyeglasses are positioned at an angle or tilt relative to the eyes. Most of the time, all eyewear must sit on a patient with a certain angle towards the face from the lower rim. This lower rim tilt towards the cheeks presents a pantoscopic tilt (frame alignment in the up and down position of the frame). The pantoscopic tilt is typically of 9-10 degrees.
  • an original prescription is obtained being based on an eye vision measurement performed by virtue of a real optical system, and supplementary input data associated with the eye vision measurement is obtained; at least such original prescription data and the supplementary input data are used for calculating a simulated optical system simulating the real optical system; and then at least the original prescription data and the simulated optical system are used to reflect the effect of the supplementary input data on the eye vision measurement, for calculating an adjusted prescription.
  • a single vision ophthalmic lens has one, consistent focal power (patient's prescribed power of correction) across its entire surface, to correct for a single vision condition.
  • Such single vision lenses are typically spherical lenses, i.e. have a substantially symmetrical distribution of optical properties (power and distortions map) with respect to at least a horizontal central plane of the lens. It has been observed that single vision lenses, when fitted to frames with a substantial pantoscopic tilt (about 9 degrees), provide a better solution for visual comfort / performance. Thus, according to conventional approach, the optical properties of a symmetrical single vision lens are considered for the condition that the lens is fitted at a 9 degree pantoscopic tilt. Reference is made to Fig.
  • pantoscopic tilt is understood to mean an angle in a vertical plane formed by the visual axis of an eye in a primary viewing position (line of sight) and by the normal to the plane tangential to the rear face of the lens at the intersection of the primary viewing direction with the lens.
  • the pantoscopic tilt is commonly defined as either (i) the angle of a line connecting the upper and lower rim above and below the fitting position/point with gravity, or (ii) the angle of the vertical tangent at the fitting point of the front surface of the lens with gravity.
  • fitting position or fitting point refers to a point on a lens as mounted in a spectacle frame, being the point of intersection of a user's line of sight with the lens surface when the user is looking straight ahead.
  • the fitting point practically coincides with the far vision zone (i.e. a geometric location / region on the free of distortion lens' surface typically used by a wearer when observing, far objects).
  • the term "primary position” is understood as the mean position of the eye relative to the head, when looking straight ahead at an object situated at eye level.
  • the terms “vertex distance ", “back vertex distance ", or “BVD” refer to a distance between the back surface of the lens when in the final orientation (corresponding to the wear parameter, i.e. pantoscopic tilt) and the corneal apex (front surface of the eye). It should be noted that, for high myopes, the BVD is determined as a distance from the center of rotation (COR) of the eye to the back vertex sphere of the lens, when the patient is gazing at a far object (and not from the corneal apex).
  • COR center of rotation
  • panoramic tilt is commonly used to describe the vertical angle of the lenses as they sit of the patient's face
  • panoramic tilt is used to describe the horizontal, or 'wrap' angle of the frame, i.e. the degree of the lens tilt around the vertical axis.
  • pantoscopic tilt it is a conventional approach that the optical properties of a single vision lens fitted at about 9 degree pantoscopic tilt should be used as the target for designing a single vision lens.
  • certain facial structures limit the tilts possible to introduce with a frame.
  • Figs. 2A and 2B exemplifying an effect of the pantoscopic tilt for spectacles with ophthalmic lenses worn by individuals having Asian-type and Caucasian-type facial structures. It is evident that the facial features in the facial structure of Fig. 2A can accommodate only a low pantoscopic tilt geometrically due to the flat nature of the facial features. Additionally, it has been found that the Asian population performs a significant number of reading tasks, and that the reading posture of Asians vs. North Americans differs. On average, Asians hold reading material higher and closer to the eye than Europeans or North Americans, requiring consideration when designing a lens for a population with Myopia and high myopia.
