Abstract
An eyeglass lens processing apparatus includes: an edge position detector which detects front and rear edge positions of an eyeglass lens based on target lens shape data; a bevel locus setting unit which includes: a) a provisional bevel locus calculator which obtains a provisional bevel locus by obtaining a bevel curve substantially equal to a frame curve; b) a nose-side bevel position determining unit which determines a corrected bevel apex position at a nose-side edge position; c) an ear-side bevel position determining unit which determines a corrected bevel apex position at an ear-side edge position; and d) a corrected bevel locus calculator which obtains a corrected bevel locus which has a curve value equal to the bevel curve; and a processing controller which obtains beveling information based on the corrected bevel locus and controls an operation of the apparatus according to the beveling data.
