Abstract

A spectacle lens selection system includes a manufacturer side terminal and a store side terminals installed in a store and is connected to the manufacturer side terminal via a network. The store side terminal transmits a wearing condition parameters including a downward rolling length of eyes and a lateral gaze length of a spectacle wearer to the manufacturer side terminal, and the manufacturer side terminal selects a most suitable product based on the wearing condition parameters, and transmits the result to the store side terminal.

Claims (18)

1. A spectacle lens selection system comprising:

a store side terminal installed in a store including a spectacle store; and

a manufacturer side terminal installed in a lens manufacturer connected to the store side terminal via a network, the manufacturer side terminal includes;

a profile storage section that stores a profile that represents characteristics of a progressive-power lens product in relation to the product,

a lens selection section that selects a most suitable product from the profile storage section based on wearing condition parameters including a downward rolling length of eyes and a lateral gaze length of a spectacle wearer received from the store side terminal, and

an analysis result transmission section that obtains an information related to the most suitable product selected from the profile storage section and transmits the information to the store side terminal as an analysis result; and

the store side terminal includes;

an input section that is capable of inputting customer information on the spectacle wearer and the wearing condition parameters,

a data transmitter section that transmits the customer information input and the wearing condition parameters to the manufacturer side terminal, and

an analysis result processing section that obtains the analysis result from the manufacturer side terminal and outputs the analysis result.

2. The spectacle lens selection system according to claim 1 , wherein

the store side terminal further includes a simulation section that simulates a vision of the spectacle wearer when the spectacle wearer wear the product selected based on the analysis result, and outputs a simulation result.

3. A spectacle lens selection method comprising:

inputting a customer information on a spectacle wearer and a wearing condition parameters including a downward rolling length of eyes and a lateral gaze length to a store side terminal;

transmitting the customer information and the wearing condition parameters from the store side terminal to a manufacturer side terminal;

receiving the customer information and the wearing condition parameters by the manufacturer side terminal;

selecting, by an arithmetic processing section of a computer, a most suitable product based on the wearing condition parameters; and

transmitting an information related to the most suitable product to the store side terminal as an analysis result.
