Abstract

The invention relates to an ophthalmic lens for constituting an ophthalmic display, associated with an optical imager for shaping light beams and directing them towards the eye of the wearer so as to enable information content to be viewed, said optical imager being secured to said lens. According to the invention, the lens is associated with marking including referencing for the position of said imager relative to said lens as a function of the correction parameters of said lens.

Claims (11)

1. A display comprising:

an ophthalmic spectacle lens;

an optical imager for shaping light beams and directing them towards the eye of the wearer so as to enable information content to be viewed, said optical imager being secured to said ophthalmic spectacle lens, said ophthalmic spectacle lens having markings for referencing for the position of said imager relative to said ophthalmic spectacle lens in order to correctly secure said imager on said ophthalmic spectacle lens, wherein said markings denote the position of the far vision point and information for defining a virtual theoretical center of the eye.

2. A display according to claim 1 , wherein the information defining the virtual theoretical center of the eye are the value of the shape angle of the wearer's spectacles frame, the value of the panthoscopic angle of the spectacles frame, and a distance corresponding to the distance between said ophthalmic spectacle lens and the center of the wearer's eye.

3. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said markings comprise the direction cosines of an information line of sight corresponding to the line passing through the virtual theoretical center of the eye and the center of the image obtained by means of the optical imager in the frame of reference relative to said ophthalmic spectacle lens.

4. A display comprising:

an ophthamalic spectacle;

an optical imager for shaping light beams and directing them towards the eye of the wearer so as to enable information content to be viewed, said optical imager being secured to said ophthalmic spectacle lens, said ophthalmic spectacle lens having markings for referencing for the position of said imager relative to said ophthalmic spectacle lens in order to correctly secure said imager on said ophthalmic spectacle lens, wherein said markings include a value for the power compensation to be provided by said imager.

5. An ophthalmic display comprising:

an ophthalmic spectacle lens:

an optical imager for shaping light beams and directing them towards the eye of the wearer so as to enable information content to be viewed, said optical imager being secured to said ophthalmic spectacle lens, said ophthalmic spectacle tens having markings for referencing for the position of said imager relative to said ophthalmic spectacle lens in order to correctly secure said imager on said ophthalmic spectacle lens, wherein the position of said imager relative to said ophthalmic spectacle lens is referenced as a function of correction parameters of said lens.
