Method of determining optical parameters of an ophthalmic lens
First Claim
1. A method for determining the values of a set of n optical parameters (P1, P2, . . . , Pn) of an ophthalmic lens to be manufactured, n being an integer greater than or equal to 1, the method comprising:
- an ophthalmic lens data providing step during which data representing an ophthalmic lens is provided, including data corresponding to a surface of the ophthalmic lens;
an ophthalmic lens manufacturing step during which an ophthalmic lens is manufactured, the ophthalmic lens comprising at least two optical surfaces at least one of which is manufactured based on the data of the corresponding surface of the ophthalmic lens;
an optical surface measuring step during which the at least one manufactured surface of the ophthalmic lens is measured;
a surface errors determining step during which a set of m surface error parameters (α
1, α
2, . . . , α
m) is determined, m being an integer greater than or equal to 1, the surface error parameters representing the differences in position and/or shape of the measured optical surface and the corresponding surface of the ophthalmic lens; and
an optical parameter determining step during which each optical parameter of the set of optical parameters is determined by;

Abstract
Method for determining the values of a set of n optical parameters (P1, P2, . . . , Pn) of an ophthalmic lens, n being an integer greater than or equal to 1, the method comprising: an nominal ophthalmic lens data providing step, an ophthalmic lens providing step, an optical surface measuring step, a surface errors determining step during which a set of m surface error parameters (α1, α2, . . . , αm) is determined, m being an integer greater than or equal to 1, an optical parameter determining step during which each optical parameter of the set of optical parameters is determined by:
with Pi the value of the ith optical parameter of the manufactured optical lens, Pi,0 the value of the ith optical parameter of the nominal optical lens,
the value of the derivative of Pi with respect to the jth surface error parameter αj on the nominal surface and Δαj the value of the jth surface error parameter, and Ai a combination of terms of order greater or equal to 2 for each Pi.
