Abstract
A method provides for manufacturing progressive-power lenses in a manner in which an inventory burden of semis can be reduced. A progressive-power lens is designed by arranging a progressive-power surface on a convex surface and combining the convex surface with a concave surface so as to meet prescription values of a spectacles wearer. The method for manufacturing progressive-power lenses includes previously preparing the concave surface side as a concave surface semi group based on a predetermined classification table, selecting a most suitable semi-finished lens according to an order, designing a progressive-power surface on the convex surface side by adding the difference between cylindrical component of a most suitable concave surface semi selected based on an order and cylindrical component of the prescription values to the concave surface side so as to meet the prescription values, and finishing the lens by performing free-form processing.
