A computer-implemented method of determining a base curve value representing a base curve for a front surface of a spectacle lens is disclosed. The method includes receiving individual prescription data and determining the base curve value for the front surface of the spectacle lens based on the prescription data. In particular, the base curve value is calculated from the received prescription data based on a functional relationship between one or more values included in the prescription data and the base curve value.

A family of spectacle lenses is provided in which each spectacle lens is configured to achieve a specified prescriptive spherical power from among a number of prescriptive spherical powers and a specified prescriptive astigmatic power from among a number of prescriptive astigmatic powers. Each spectacle lens has a specified rotationally symmetrical spectacle-lens front face, a specified atoric spectacle-lens rear face, and in at least one principal section, such a deviation in the curvature from the circular form that, for a value for the distance between the vertex of the spectacle lens rear face and the pivot point of the eye, which lies in a range between 15 and 40 mm, at any point in a spectacle lens region within a radius of 25 mm about the geometrical center of the spectacle lens, an upper limit of the total deviation of the power is not exceeded.

A bifocal spectacle lens and a method for creating a numerical representation of a bifocal spectacle lens are disclosed. The bifocal spectacle lens includes a distance portion, a near portion, and a transition section situated between the distance portion and the near portion. The distance portion is optimized in view of an optical power for distance vision and the near portion is optimized in view of an optical power for near vision. The transition section is determined such that the transition section creates a continuous transition between the distance portion and the near portion. The distance portion and the near portion are optimized independently of one another and put together with the transition section to form the numerical representation of the bifocal spectacle lens.

A device and a method for establishing a target design are disclosed. A generator generates a graphical representation of a starting target design and displays it on a display. A user directly manipulates a graphical representation of the starting target design displayed on the display through the graphical user interface. The graphical representation of the manipulated starting target design is updated and displayed on the display.

Method and device for establishing a target design

The current invention is directed to a method for designing an ophthalmic lens element, the method comprising the steps of determining a wavefront aberration of an eye in a reference plane, wherein the wavefront aberration of the eye can be described by a first series of polynomials of ascending order up to a first specific order and corresponding first coefficients; determining a first vision correction of a second specific order; determining at least one specific point over an aperture of the adapted ophthalmic lens element; determining a high-order wavefront aberration in the reference plane for each specified point of the adapted ophthalmic lens element, wherein the high-order wavefront aberration can be described by a third series of polynomials of ascending order above the second specific order up to and including the first specific order and corresponding third coefficients; and determining a second vision correction of the second specific order.
