OPTICAL DEVICE HAVING A DATA CARRIER
First Claim
1. An optical device having an anterior surface and a posterior surface, said optical device with uniquely identifiable data carrier means for carrying data associated with said optical device, said data carrier means operable in at least one of an electrical mode and/or a magnetic mode;
- said data carrier means being deposited on said posterior surface and/or said anterior surface;
said data carrier means caused to emit a data signal in response to said activating signal by an external means;
said emitted data signal comprising the data associated with said optical device.

8. A computer-implemented method for determining the orientation of an optical device, said method including the steps of:
- having uniquely identifiable data carrier means associated with said optical device, said data carrier means for carrying data related to said optical device said least one data carrier having data carrier means operable in at least one of an electrical mode and/or a magnetic mode to emit said data in response to activation by an activating signal applied by an external means,
locating said at least data carrier at a predetermined position on said optical device, said predetermined position associated with said orientation, issuing at least one advisory signal indicative of said orientation of said optical device with respect to a preferred orientation of said optical device, whereby said at least one advisory signal is an aid to correct said orientation of said optical device for placement in said preferred orientation. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
