    摘要: Configuring ophthalmic lenses that reduce oblique aberrations based on a wearer's accommodative demand values is disclosed. The accommodative demand values include A_(rel−) and A_(rel+) depend on object vergence L. The accommodative demand values are considered to and ensure no or reduced eye strain to the wearer. An improved merit function Φ′ is calculated based on the accommodative demand values. In the calculation, accommodative term A is a smooth and continuous function of both the object distance L and the spherical component of the power error. This ensures the accommodative demand values are well below maximum relative accommodations available to the wearer to prevent eye fatigue. The calculation may also include a smooth and continuous thresholding function ƒ that optimizes the merit function. The calculation may also include evaluation of the power error associated with various object vergencies for every direction of sight.

    摘要: Automatic visual inspection (AVI) systems and methods are disclosed for inspecting transmissive lenses using a plurality of camera poses to provide deflectometric measurements using fringe patterns from at least two points of view. Phase and/or modulation visibility values of the deflectometric measurements are measured for two sensitivities of the patterns taken through an inspection area of the lens from the points of view. Defects are detected based on the phase and/or modulation visibility values at a defect location as compared to at the local area. A defect type is classified to be prismatic, transmissive, lenslet or cosmetic based on the phase and/or modulation visibility values. The defect is localized on the front or back surface of the lens based on the phase and modulation visibility values, and a geometry of the lens orientation. The lens can be invalidated based on defect types, numbers, relative positions and locations.

    摘要: Optimizing visual performance of a spectacle lens using metrics of visual performance includes selecting one or more metrics of visual performance for the lens. Creating functions of the metrics of visual performance, each having a function value that decreases as a values of the metrics of visual performance increase. Creating a merit function for lens optimization, the merit function having a main term that contains a weighted sum of functions that decrease as the metrics of visual performance increase, the weighted sum of functions including a set of viewing directions or a set of points with a one-to one correspondence with the set of viewing directions. Minimizing the merit function to optimize lens surfaces. Then designing an optimal lens having the optimized lens surfaces to optimize visual performance.
