Abstract
A computer implemented method of determining a numerical representation of a spectacle lens is provided, in which a numerically represented working spectacle lens is optimized by ray tracing using pencils of rays along different viewing directions of an eye to obtain an optimized numerical representation. The principal rays of the pencils of rays each pass different ray passing points forming points of a vertex surface. The principal rays extend along a viewing direction related to the respective ray passing point. The locations of the ray passing points are determined by surface points of a non-spherical apex surface representing the locations of the apex of the cornea when the eye rotates. A fixed distance is added to the apex surface at the respective surface points in a direction that corresponds to the viewing direction of the eye when the apex of the cornea is located at that surface point.
