Abstract
A system for the optical reading of markings printed on an ophthalmic lens (), includes an image capture device (), a light source () and a support () which are configured so that, when the lens is received by the support with a masking element () which covers the markings, the source illuminates the lens while rendering the markings visible to the device; and a mobile element on which the source is fixed and which admits a retracted position where it is distanced from the support and a working position where it surrounds at least partially the support and the source looks at the support and these latter are configured so that the source illuminates a rim () of the lens so that the light penetrates into its mass () and reaches the masking element () through the lens.
