Abstract:
A progressive lens for ophthalmic spectacles has an additional zone for intermediate vision. This additional zone is located beneath a near-vision zone. It enables objects located at a distance of between 1.0 and 1.5 meters, in a direction inclined at about 35 degrees to a line of sight passing through a cross mark (CM) on the lens, to be seen clearly. To achieve this, the optical power progression between a far-vision point (FV) and a near-vision point (NV) of said lens has a power-increase threshold which is located approximately at the cross mark.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for making a customised progressive ophthalmic lens intended for an identified wearer that includes measurements of the inclination of the wearer's head. These measures are made when the wearer performs visual tasks in far-vision conditions, by consecutively looking horizontally, then towards the ground. A variation of the optical power of the progressive lens, below a reference direction for the far vision, is adjusted on the basis of the measure results. The habituation period of the wearer to the progressive lens can thus be reduced.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for characterizing a perception of blur by a subject (10) in order to determine a dioptric blur value for an image (C) observed by the subject. The image has a blur generated by the low-pass filtering of the image components in accordance with the respective space frequencies of said image components. An indication of the perception thereof of blur in the image is provided by the subject and is associated with the dioptric blur value. Several images associated with different dioptric blur values are used for defining a dioptric blur threshold value for the subject that corresponds to a blur perception criterion. The invention can be used for adjusting the design of a progressive lens for the subject in accordance with the sensitivity to said visual blur of said subject.

The invention relates to a method for adapting the visual and/or visual-motor behaviour of a person, the method comprising: - an optical parameter and a person visual parameter providing step (S2, S4), during which a person visual parameter indicative of a visual parameter of the person relative to a given visual and/or visual-motor behaviour of the person is provided and an optical parameter characterizing an optical system is provided, the optical system being intended to equip the person; a target value providing step (S6), during which a target value for the person visual parameter related to the optical parameter is provided; - a visual and/or visual motor behaviour modifying step (S8), during which a reference visual and/or visual-motor behaviour of the person is modified so as to define a modified visual and/or visual-motor behaviour of the person by providing a visual and/or visual-motor training to the person; a person visual parameter assessing step (S10), during which the person visual parameter is assessed for the modified visual and/or visual-motor behaviour of the person; a determining step (S12), during which a suitable visual and/or visual-motor behaviour for the person equipped with the optical system is determined by repeating the modifying and assessing steps so as to minimize the difference between the assessed person visual parameters and the target value; and an adapting step (S14), during which the visual and/or visual-motor behaviour of the person equipped with the optical system is adapted based on the suitable visual and/or visual-motor behaviour.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for determining an optical system intended to equip a person on the basis of the adaptability of the person to a visual and/or proprioceptive modification of his environment, the method comprising: - a person visual behaviour parameter providing step (S2), during which a person visual behaviour parameter indicative of the visual behaviour of the person relative to a given state of the environment is provided; - a reference value providing step (S4), during which a first value of the person visual behaviour parameter corresponding to a reference state of the environment is provided; - a visual and/or proprioceptive modification providing step (S6), during which a visual and/or proprioceptive modification of the reference state of the environment is provided so as to define a modified state of the environment; and - a determining step (S8), during which an optical parameter of the optical system is determined based on the first value of the person visual behaviour parameter and on a second value of the person visual behaviour parameter associated with the modified state of the environment.
Abstract:
A method for providing a spectacle ophthalmic lens to a wearer, the method comprising the following steps: providing a value, SV, representing the sensitivity of the wearer referred to a scale of sensitivity to perception of spatial orientation, according to both visual and non visual frames of reference; calculating a design of the spectacle ophthalmic lens or selecting a design in a spectacle ophthalmic lens design data base by adapting the management of residual astigmatism and/or optical power repartition according to gaze direction based on the value, SV, representing the sensitivity of the wearer referred to a scale of sensitivity to perception of spatial orientation.
Abstract:
The lens has zones (2a, 2c) associated to polarizing filters, where the size and position of the zones are determined based on an eye/head behavior of a wearer e.g. driver, along different orientations. The polarizing filter of one of the zones is oriented vertically with respect to a usage position of the lens that is utilized in a glass (2), where the vertical zone is situated adjacent to a temporal lateral edge of the lens with respect to the usage position.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a transparent and polarizing viewing element (2) divided into several zones (2a, 2b). At least one of the zones (2a) is associated with a light polarizing filter. The light passing through the optical surface is affected differently for two of said zones (2a, 2b) depending on the polarizing direction of said light. The polarizing filter is obliquely oriented relative to a horizontal direction (H) in the operational position of the element (2; 5), with an angle between the filter orientation and said horizontal direction of 90 degrees and of 0 degree.
