Method for processing chamfering of eyeglass lens and apparatus for processing the same
A method for processing a chamfering of an eyeglass lens, including the steps of inputting a width of the chamfering and a range of the chamfering from a periphery of a lens shape at a position adjacent to a nose and/or a position far away form the nose, obtaining a trace of the chamfering on a refractive surface of the eyeglass lens and displaying the trace of the chamfering by overlapping the lens shape.
1. A method for processing a chamfering of an eyeglass lens, comprising the steps of:
preparing an eyeglass lens having an anterior refracting surface and a posterior refracting surface;
inputting a width of a chamfering and a range of the chamfering from a periphery of a lens shape of the eyeglass lens to form a groove in an edge surface of the eyeglass lens or a V-shaped portion on the edge surface and a front edge portion on the edge surface at one side of the groove or V-shaped portion disposed adjacent to the anterior refracting surface, and forming a back edge portion on the edge surface at a second side of the groove or V-shaped portion disposed adjacent to the posterior refracting surface;
displaying
a special chamfering positional mark showing a position of the lens shape,
a chamfering positional mark showing a most thinning position of an edge thickness and a chamfering width,
a sectional shape at the chamfering positional mark of the lens shape,
an edge sectional shape at the special chamfering positional mark of the lens shape to carry out a simulation processing of the eyeglass lens based on input matters, and
a state of a chamfering portion and a change in the state of the chamfering portion when the special chamfering positional mark is moved toward the chamfering positional mark in the simulation; and
controlling the chamfering of the posterior refracting surface so that a width of the back edge portion in a thickness direction of the eyeglass lens is larger than a width of the front edge portion.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the posterior refracting surface is chamfered so that the width of the back edge portion in the thickness direction of the eyeglass lens is larger than the width of the front edge portion by a proportion of 1.2 to 1.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the width of the front edge portion is 1.3 mm, and the posterior refracting surface is chamfered so that the width of the back edge portion in the thickness direction of the eyeglass lens is 1.6 mm.
