Definitions
- the invention relates to a series of spectacle lenses according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the area on the eye side is designed atorically to implement the
- progressive eyeglass lenses have such progressive eyeglass lenses with different Manufacture surface refractive index in the distance reference point and / or different increases in the surface refractive index from the far part to the near part (if called addition addition) as well as the most diverse astigmatic effects and axis positions in order to do justice to the different ametropia or the different degrees of presbyopia. Due to different materials (silicate glass with a refractive index of 1.525, highly refractive silicate glass with a refractive index of e.g.
- glasses of this type with a different surface refractive index in the far part and / or a different increase in the surface refractive index from the far part to the near part were calculated by first calculating a progressive surface with a certain surface refractive index and a certain addition - also referred to as a close-up addition. From this surface, the further surfaces required for the series with a different addition or a different surface refractive index were then derived from this surface.
- the specification of surface properties is a function of the main variables, such as spherical effect, cylinder and axial position of the atoric surface, as well as a base curve (surface refractive index BK in the far section) and / or the addition the progressive area of crucial importance.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying dimensioning rules for progressive spectacle lenses with an atoric surface, by means of which these variables can be determined without great effort and without changing the “target functions”.
- An inventive solution to this problem is specified in claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
- the design of the second surface which is generally the surface on the eye side, but can also be the front surface in individual cases, can achieve significant "cosmetic advantages":
- the base curve of the progressive surface i.e. select the surface refractive index in the distance reference point 1 dpt to 1.5 dpt "flatter” than for spherical or toric surface on the eye side.
- a flatter base curve would result in a significant reduction in visual acuity and, in particular, a significant restriction in the area suitable for "clear vision”.
- aspherical surfaces according to the invention with a "flatter base curve" an expansion of the area suitable for clear vision can be obtained.
- an atoric surface is understood to mean a surface that has at least one aspherical main cut, that is to say that deviates from the circular shape.
- the coefficients a j2 and b j2 are a second order function of s.
- the following can apply to the coefficients a ji and b ji :
- the coefficients a j2 and b j2 can be as follows
- coefficients for the two main cuts are given, which allow the calculation of an atoric back surface to a progressive front surface in a very simple manner.
- the astigmatism which is essentially determined by the surface astigmatism in the lower region of the distant part, must be less than 0.5 D, since otherwise the visual acuity would be reduced too much.
- a series of progressive spectacle lenses is understood to mean a set of at least two progressive spectacle lenses which differ with regard to their refractive index in the distance reference point and / or their addition (close addition).
- the progressive surfaces of the lenses of a set have a "topological similarity", although the existence of a topological similarity is a preferred property of a set, but is not an absolute necessity for at least two lenses to form a "set" in the sense of this invention.
- the tolerances for the coefficients a, a 1 and a 2 are ⁇ 5% limited.
- the coefficient a 0 can have the value 18 on the nasal side and the value 19.3 on the temporal side. This choice of the coefficients allows a refined optimization of the progressive surfaces with different base curves and / or addition.
- the minimally achievable width dx of the near part at the height of the near reference point is only a function of the addition Add and, surprisingly, not the refractive index BK in the distance reference point.
- the near part is limited by the 0.5 dpt line of the surface astigmatism of the progressive surface.
- the width of the near part is almost exactly the same as the size of the far part, a determining factor for the acceptance of a progressive spectacle lens by the respective user.
- a wide close-up section makes it possible, for example, to survey several columns of a newspaper without moving your head.
- the near reference point in accordance with the usual definition is understood to mean the point on the main line at which the refractive index of the progressive surface reaches the value (BK + Add). It is preferred for the design of the progressive surface and in particular the formation of the near part if the tolerance for the coefficient is a ' ⁇ 5% and the coefficient b' has the value 6 mm.
- the main line can be a line with a surface astigmatism, even if it is slight. However, it is preferred if the main line has no surface astigmatism. According to the invention, it has been recognized that it is possible, in contrast to the teaching of DE 30 16 935 C2, to realize a progressive spectacle lens with a large distant part and a great disadvantage as well as a wide progression zone even and in particular when the main line (at least) in the Range -18mm ⁇ y ⁇ 12mm is a so-called umbilical line.
- the lines of the same refractive index - unlike in the prior art - open horizontally into the main line.
- the horizontal confluence of the lines with the same refractive index which is enforced according to the invention, changes the horizontal radius difference in the lower region of the distant part, i.e. for y values of 5 to 10 mm in a strip on both sides of the main line with a one-sided extension of approximately 3 to 8 mm with a comparatively large gradient, while the change outside this strip has a much smaller gradient.
- the gradient of the horizontal radius difference is comparatively small on both sides of the main line.
- the progressive surface i.e. the surface with a continuously changing surface refractive index, as a rule, but not necessarily the front surface.
- Fig. 4a the projection of the main line in the x, y plane
- Eyeglass lens with atoric eye surface or toric eye surface, 8a and 8b the arrow height deviations for two different atoric areas from the corresponding toric areas, and
- BK in dpt
- the spectacle lens has a suitable effect for the respective spectacle wearer to see into the distance.
- Typical spherical effects of the spectacle lenses shown in the distance reference point can be, the surface on the eye side being a toric surface with a "minus cylinder":
- Add (in dpt) denotes the addition, i.e. the increase in the refractive index from the long-distance reference point to the so-called near-reference point, in which the spectacle lens has an effect suitable for seeing in the vicinity.
- the additions are 1 dpt, 2 dpt and 3 dpt.
- FIGS. 1a to 3c show so-called isoastigmatism lines for surface astigmatism values of 0.5 dpt, 1.0 dpt, 1.5 dpt, 2.0 dpt, 2.5 dpt and 3.0 dpt. If isoastigmatism lines for certain values are missing in individual figures, this means that the respective progressive surface has no areas in which surface astigmatism reaches these values.
- the dependence of the height y of the line, on which the surface astigmatism is 0.5 d, at a distance of 25 mm from the main line on the surface refractive index in the distance reference point and on the addition can be clearly seen in the figures.
- FIGS. 1a to 3c furthermore show that the minimum width dx of the near part, in particular at the height of the normally defined near reference point (primarily), is only a function of the addition Add.
- the dependence on the base curve, ie on the surface refractive index at the long-distance reference point, is much less 1
- FIG. 4a shows the projection of the main line in the x, y plane for main lines with different additions, namely 1.0 dpt, 1.5 dpt, 2.0 dpt, 2.5 dpt, 3.0 dpt and 3.5 dpt and a surface refractive index 5dpt in the distance reference point.
- This figure explains the dependency of the so-called x 0 offset of the main line, ie the offset through which the main line follows the "line of sight" when the gaze is lowered. More specifically, the main line follows the point of penetration of the visual ray through the progressive surface when the gaze is lowered.
- FIGS. 4b and 4c show the mean surface refractive index or the angle ⁇ 0 (y), ie the slope of the horizontal sections on these main lines for the main lines shown in FIG. 4a. Also with regard to FIG. 4, reference is expressly made to this figure with regard to the disclosure of all details not explained in more detail.
- the respective point x 0 is Fig; 4a.
- the horizontal radius difference changes with a comparatively large gradient in the lower region of the distant part, ie for y values of 5 to 10 mm in a strip on both sides of the main line with a one-sided extension of approximately 3 to 8 mm , while the change outside of this strip has a much smaller gradient.
- the gradient of the horizontal radius difference is comparatively small on both sides of the main line.
- a function of the independent variables x and y for example the surface astigmatism Ast (x, y) and the knowledge of a first-order stripe along the main line, suffice for the unambiguous description of a progressive surface.
- This first-order stripe is uniquely determined by three one-dimensional functions. These functions can, for example, project the main line into the x, y plane (x 0 (y) offset), project the main line into the y, z plane (z 0 (y) offset), the average refractive index H along the main line, the angle ⁇ 0 (y), ie the slope of the horizontal sections on the main line.
- the average refractive index H is superfluous for the strip 1) order, thus a strip 2) order is already determined.
- the area can now be determined, for example, by means of a target function Z
- the index v means that it is a default value.
- the eye-side surface is an atoric surface in the case of a toric prescription, the base curve of the progressive surface being 1 to 1.5 dpt "flatter" than in the case of spherical or toric eye-side Area is selected.
- FIG. 6 shows the deviations in ⁇ m of an atoric surface that is required for the correction of the image errors mentioned, from a spherical surface that is in the
- the apex "nestles" against the atoric surface, which therefore has circular main sections with a radius that corresponds to the apex radius of the aspherical main sections of the atoric surface. All of the atoric areas shown are calculated for glasses with a refractive index of 1.604.
- the information relates to the main sections of the atoric areas.
- the dependency on the axis position is not as significant as the dependency found according to the invention on the spherical effect (effect of the "stronger” main cut) and the minus cylinder (difference in effect between the stronger and the weaker main cut).
- FIGS. 7a and 7b show the iso-visual lines for a progressive spectacle lens with an atoric surface on the eye side (7a) and with a toric surface on the eye side (7b).
- the long-distance effect is 4 dpt
- the axis position is 0 °.
- the base curve of the glass shown in Fig. La is however "flatter" by 1.5 D. It can clearly be seen that, with the same optical performance, the progressive spectacle lens with an atorical surface on the eye side is cosmetically more favorable.
- FIGS. 8a and 8b show the deviations of the arrow heights in ⁇ m from atoric surfaces according to the invention from corresponding toric surfaces.
- FIG. 8a shows an area with a spherical effect of +2.0 dpt and an astigmatic effect of -3.0 dpt
- FIG. 8b shows an area with a spherical effect of +2.0 dpt and an astigmatic effect from -1.0 dpt shows.
- Figures 9a and 9b explain the functionalities specified in claim 1.
- 9a shows two curves, namely the actual deviation ⁇ z (tat compared to the theoretical deviation dz (theor) given by the specified function.
- the deviation calculated for example by means of spline functions can be seen by the simple inventive method Describe the specified relationship.
- FIG. 9b explains the dependencies of the coefficients a j and b j on the cylindrical or astigmatic effect in the remote reference point in minus cylinder notation.
- the cylindrical effect is plotted on the abscissa and the coefficient or function value is plotted on the ordinate.
- the straight line indicates the relationship according to the invention, while the piecewise continuous line shows the actual dependency.
- the spherical effect is +5.0 D in the selected example.
- the coefficient a is given as an example.
- the arrow height difference for each main cut and every combination of spherical effect and "cylinder” is described by a function according to claim 1.
- the parameters a and b in turn depend linearly on the cylinder value, the coefficient indicating the slope being linearly dependent on the spherical effect.
- the coefficient indicating the point of intersection of the straight line with the ordinate depends quadratically on the spherical effect.
- the arrow height difference can thus be described with 20 parameters for each main section.
