A lens holding frame for holding lenses, both in front of the projection optics of an HMD device and in front of the eye portion of a wearer of the HMD device, the lens holding frame including a nose bridge, the HMD device including a nose pad arranged to support the nose bridge, and at least one correction lens. The lens holding frame is arranged to be stretched out of its original shape under a manual pressure to at least one transitional shape, and includes connecting elements arranged to connect in a reversible manner the HMD device to the lens holding frame being in a transitional shape and having its nose bridge supported by the nose pad of the HMD device.

Lens holding frame

The invention relates to an ophthalmic lens for long-sighted and intermediate vision comprising a complex surface provided with an optical centre, a substantially umbilicated meridian line and an average size sphere progression on the top surface equal to or greater than 0.50 diopters. The complex surface is provided in the top part thereof with a long-sighted vision area which is formed by cylinder points equal to or less than 0.25 diopters and covers an angular sector focused on the optical centre and whose angle is equal to 160&#xb0;. Said complex surface also comprises an average size substantially constant sphere on the meridian line in the long-sighted vision area and a progression length equal to or less than 12 mm. Said progression length is defined as a vertical distance between the optical centre and a median point for which the average sphere if greater than 85% of progression on the average sphere in the optical centre. The inventive lens is suitable for driving and prescribed to persons having additional prescription greater than a power progression, whereby a correction adaptable to the power prescription of a longsighted vision person is provided in the top part of the lens. The lower part of the lens ensures the correction needed for an intermediate vision person.
