Method for the production of a spectacle glass taking into account the optimum individual length of progression
View Patent ↗A method is described for determining the optical and individual progression length of a continuous vision lens on the basis of the measured cornea/bridge distance of a spectacle frame which is matched in advance. The invention is distinguished by the following steps: a) the value of the individual cornea/bridge distance (HSA) of a spectacle frame which has been matched in advance is obtained, b) the individual distance d between a far reference point B F and a centering cross Z K is measured, and c) the optimum and individual progression length (L opt ) is determined using the following formula; L opt =0.63 *( HSA+ 13.5 mm)+ d ( B F , ZK ).
1. A method for production of a progressive spectacle lens having at least one progressive surface, in which the at least one progressive surface is calculated taking account of individual data, which includes the cornea/bridge distance, of the spectacle lens, such that, at pronounced parts on a main line including the so-called far reference point, B F , and the near reference point, B N , the spectacle lens has a specific effect which is predetermined by a spectacle prescription, characterized by the following steps:
the individual cornea/bridge distance, HSA, for a spectacle frame, which is selected by the spectacle wearer and is matched in advance, is measured,
the optimum, individual progression length, L opt , for the spectacle frame which has been matched in advance, which is the distance between the far reference point and the near reference point in the direction of the vertical in the in-use position, is determined by means of the following relationship:
L opt =tan(32.3°±1°)*( HSA +13.5 mm)+ d ( B F ,ZK ),
where;
HSA: cornea/bridge distance
d(B F ,ZK): Distance between the far reference point and a centering cross
the progressive surface of the spectacle lens is calculated such that the determined individual progression length L opt is obtained, and
the spectacle lens is manufactured in accordance with the calculated data.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that 3 mm≦ d ( B F ,ZK )≦5 mm.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that, in order to determine the value of d(B F ,ZK) the individual distance d is determined between the far reference point B F , the intersection point of a straight line (0°—viewing direction) which runs through the eye center of rotation Z′ and runs horizontally, through the plane of the frame, and a centering cross Z K .
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that further individual values are taken into account when determining the value of the optimum individual progression length, L opt .
5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , characterized in that a further individual value is the forward inclination of the plane of the frame.
6. The method as claimed in claim 4 , characterized in that further individual values are the spherical effect, the addition, the astigmatic effect, the axis position, the prism and the base of the prism.
