Abstract:
A method for thermally bonding together a cover film (3) of an ophthalmic lens package (1) and a base part (2) of the ophthalmic lens package (1), such as a contact lens package, in particular a soft contact lens package, comprising the steps of - providing a package holder (9) supporting a base part (2) and a cover film (3) arranged thereon, the base part (2) comprising a depression (4) containing an ophthalmic lens (5) immersed in a liquid (6); - mechanically pressing the cover film (3) and the base part (2) together along a bonding area (7) having a shape completely enclosing the depression (4) while applying heat to the bonding area (7), thereby thermally bonding together the cover film (3) and the base part (2) along the bonding area (7); wherein the step of providing the package holder (9) includes arranging a flexible support element (18) on an upper surface (10) of the package holder (9) to form a support area (19) corresponding in shape to and being arranged in alignment with the bonding area (7), with the flexible support element (18) having a flexibility higher than the flexibility of the base part (2).
Abstract:
A close-contact multi-layer type diffractive optical element having a homogeneous low-refractive-index and high-dispersion resin layer is produced with satisfactory workability. Among two optical members constituting a diffractive plane, a low-refractive-index and high-dispersion member is formed, using a resin precursor composition containing bifunctional fluorine-containing (meth)acrylate and bifunctional (meth)acrylate having a fluorene structure.

Abstract:
[Object] To provide a protective film-attached functional sheet from which an aromatic polycarbonate injection-molded lens that has no or significantly less white streaks can be produced and a method for producing the sheet. [Solution] A protective film-attached functional sheet includes a functional sheet and a protective film bonded to the functional sheet, the functional sheet including aromatic polycarbonate sheets or films and a functional layer sandwiched between the aromatic polycarbonate sheets or films, the functional layer being a polyvinyl alcohol polarizing film layer, a photochromic layer, or a combination thereof. The protective film is a polyolefin resin film that includes at least two layers, namely, a base layer formed of a polypropylene having a melting point equal to or higher than a glass transition temperature of the aromatic polycarbonate and an adhesive layer disposed on one surface of the base layer and being formed of a resin composition containing a polyolefin rubber and a polyolefin having a melting point lower than the glass transition temperature but equal to or higher than a temperature 15°C lower than the glass transition temperature; or at least three layers, namely, the aforementioned two layers and an intermediate layer between the base layer and the adhesive layer. A method for producing the sheet is also provided.
Abstract:
The invention related to a method, program, computer program, system for obtaining multiple lenses from one single blank, and to corresponding lenses. According to the method, steps are foreseen for obtaining lens specification information (S10), and generating (S20), on the basis of the lens specification information, integrated surface data comprising lens surface data and junction surface data.
