【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、主として眼鏡レンズやコンタクトレンズ等のレンズの屈折度数を測定するために用いるレンズメータのレンズ当てに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
レンズの屈折度数を測定するためのレンズメータに関する発明は多々紹介されている。その中で、強度のプリズム屈折力を有するレンズを測定するための方法としては、JIS B 7183(非特許文献1参照)に規定されているように、プリズムコンペンセータを用いて強度プリズムを相殺する方法が知られている。プリズムコンペンセータについては詳しい資料は無いものの、複数のプリズムや反射鏡を組み合わせてプリズム量を連続的に変化させることを可能にし、さらに測定される屈折度数に影響が及ばない設計がされている(例えば特許文献1、特許文献2参照)。

【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
プリズムコンペンセータは構造が複雑でコストが掛かるため、レンズメータ自体が高価格となる。このため、多くの眼鏡店が有する低価格のレンズメータにはプリズムコンペンセータが付いていない。また、最近主流になりつつあるディジタル表示式レンズメータの中には、その測定原理の違いによって、プリズムコンペンセータの使用が不可能なものもある。
【0005】
さらに、プリズムコンペンセータ付きの高価格なレンズメータであっても、プリズムコンペンセータで相殺できるプリズム量は±20cm/m程度である。ところが、屈折力補正用累進屈折力レンズで近用部の屈折度数を測定しようとすると、20〜40cm/m程度のプリズムが付くものもあり、一般のプリズムコンペンセータで相殺できる範囲を超えてしまう。これを測定可能にするためには、特殊なプリズムコンペンセータを用いれば良いのだが、用途が限定されるために非常に高価なレンズメータになってしまい実用的でない。また、40cm/mものプリズムをプリズムコンペンセータだけで相殺するには、光学的に不可能な場合も生じる。
【0006】
本発明の目的は、強度のプリズムを有するレンズの屈折度数を測定可能にする、安価な測定手段を提供するものである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明のプリズム付きレンズ当ては次のような構成を有する。
(1)レンズメータのレンズ当て内にプリズムを組み込んだことを特徴とする。
(2)(1)のレンズ当て内のプリズムはレンズ当ての開口部上端から突出しないように設置されたことを特徴とする。
(3)(1)または(2)のレンズ当て内のプリズムは5cm/m以上20cm/m以下のプリズム屈折力を有することを特徴とするプリズム付きレンズ当て。
(4)(1)ないし(3)において、アッベ数40以下の光学材料を用いたプリズムを組み込んだことを特徴とする。
(5)(1)ないし(4)において、プリズムの基底方向を特定するための目印をレンズ当てに表示したことを特徴とする。
また、本発明のレンズメータは(1)ないし(5)のプリズム付きレンズ当てを使用してレンズの屈折力を測定できるようにしたことを特徴とする。
さらに、本発明のプリズム付きレンズ当てを使用して屈折度数を測定方法は、プリズム付きレンズ当てのプリズム基底方向を、被検レンズの屈折力測定位置におけるプリズムの基底方向と逆向きに合わせることを特徴とする。
また、上記測定方法において、レンズメータのプリズムコンペンセータにより測定用ターゲットの位置を微調整することを特徴とする。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は本発明のプリズム付きレンズ当ての実施例を示す。図中の10はレンズ当てであり、測定に使用するレンズメータの光学特性に合ったものを用いる。11はプリズムであり、レンズ当て10の開口部の内径に合わせて成形してある。
このプリズムは20cm/mのプリズム屈折力を有するように作成した。また、本実施例ではアッベ数32のプラスチック製プリズムを使用した。これは、高屈折率材料を用いた累進屈折力レンズは、アッベ数が低いために近用部の屈折度数測定時に色収差が発生するが、それと同等のアッベ数を有するプリズムを用いると、プリズム自体を相殺すると同時に色収差も相殺することになり、より精度の良い屈折度数測定が可能になるためである。
【0009】
図2はプリズムをレンズ当てに組み込んだ状態の断面図を示す。図中の記号は前述したものと同じである。本実施例では、プリズム11の上面をレンズ当て10の開口部上端と一致するように組み込んだ。このようにレンズ当て上端ぎりぎりに設置することにより、測定光がプリズム11によって屈折させられても、レンズ当ての開口部によるけられが生じないという利点がある。レンズ当て10の外面部には、組み込まれたプリズム11の基底方向が判るように印をした。
【0010】
図3及び図4は本発明のプリズム付きレンズ当てを使用して、累進屈折力レンズの近用部屈折度数を測定する概念図である。一般的に、累進屈折力の近用度数を測定するのは加入屈折力を求めるのが目的である。ISOやJISなどの公的規格では、加入屈折力を求める時は加入屈折力が付与された面をレンズ当てに当てて測定するように規定されている。図3は累進屈折面(加入屈折力が付与されている面)がレンズ凸面側に有る場合で、レンズ凸面側をレンズ当てに当てて近用部度数測定位置で屈折度数を測定している。図4は累進屈折面がレンズ凹面側に有る場合で、レンズ凹面側をレンズ当てに当てて近用部度数測定位置で屈折度数を測定している。図3の場合でも図4の場合でも近用度数測定位置でのプリズム基底がレンズ外周部方向を向いている。このプリズムを相殺するためにレンズ当て内のプリズムは、レンズの中心方向に基底が向くように設置している。レンズがプラス度数を持つような場合では、近用部度数測定位置のプリズムはレンズ中心方向に基底が向くので、プリズム付きレンズ当てはプリズム基底がレンズ外周方向を向くように設置する。
【0011】
プリズム付きレンズ当ては安価であるので、プリズム11は例えば5cm/mや10cm/m、15cm/mなど数種類用意しておき、測定するレンズに合わせて選択が可能である。特に、市販のレンズメータでは、5cm/m程度のズレでも測定用ターゲットを表示面に表示できるので、プリズム付きレンズ当ても5cm/mおきくらいに用意しておけば、ほとのどのレンズに対応可能である。また、使用するレンズメータがプリズムコンペンセータ付きの場合には、本発明のプリズム付きレンズ当てで相殺できない分のプリズムや、逆に過度に相殺しすぎてしまった分のプリズムを、プリズムコンペンセータで補正することにより、測定用ターゲットをレンズメータの測定面の中央に移動することができ、より正確な屈折度数測定が可能となる。
【0012】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、市販のレンズメータでは測定不可能な強度プリズム付きレンズのプリズムを相殺して屈折度数を測定することが可能になる。レンズ当てやプリズムは安価に作成することができるため、眼鏡店や眼科医などに安価で提供することができ、処方とことなるレンズで眼鏡を作るというミスが未然に防げるようになる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lens cover of a lens meter used for measuring a refractive power of a lens such as an eyeglass lens or a contact lens.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Many inventions relating to a lens meter for measuring the refractive power of a lens have been introduced. Among them, as a method for measuring a lens having a strong prism refractive power, a method of canceling an intensity prism using a prism compensator as defined in JIS B 7183 (see Non-Patent Document 1). It has been known. Although there is no detailed information on the prism compensator, it is designed so that the prism amount can be changed continuously by combining a plurality of prisms and reflecting mirrors, and the measured refractive power is not affected (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[Non-patent document 1]
"JIS B 7183: 1995 Lensmeter", Japan Standards Association, p. 2, 4.3.2 Measurement range
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the prism compensator has a complicated structure and is costly, the lens meter itself becomes expensive. For this reason, the low-cost lens meters of many spectacle stores do not have a prism compensator. Some digital display-type lens meters, which are becoming mainstream in recent years, cannot use a prism compensator due to a difference in the measurement principle.
[0005]
Furthermore, even with a high-priced lens meter with a prism compensator, the amount of prism that can be offset by the prism compensator is about ± 20 cm / m. However, when trying to measure the refractive power of the near portion using a progressive-power lens for correcting refractive power, some lenses have a prism of about 20 to 40 cm / m, which exceeds the range that can be canceled by a general prism compensator. In order to make this measurement possible, a special prism compensator may be used, but the use is limited and the lens meter becomes very expensive, which is not practical. In addition, there is a case where it is optically impossible to cancel a prism of 40 cm / m by the prism compensator alone.
[0006]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive measuring means capable of measuring the refractive power of a lens having a strong prism.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a lens pad with a prism of the present invention has the following configuration.
(1) A prism is incorporated in a lens pad of a lens meter.
(2) The method according to (1), wherein the prism in the lens pad is provided so as not to protrude from the upper end of the opening of the lens pad.
(3) A lens holder with a prism, wherein the prism in the lens holder of (1) or (2) has a prism refractive power of 5 cm / m or more and 20 cm / m or less.
(4) In any of (1) to (3), a prism using an optical material having an Abbe number of 40 or less is incorporated.
(5) In any one of (1) to (4), a mark for specifying the base direction of the prism is displayed on the lens pad.
Further, the lens meter of the present invention is characterized in that the refractive power of the lens can be measured by using the lens holder with a prism of (1) to (5).
Further, the method of measuring the refractive power using the lens holder with a prism of the present invention includes adjusting the prism base direction of the lens holder with the prism to the opposite direction to the base direction of the prism at the refractive power measurement position of the lens to be measured. Features.
In the above-mentioned measuring method, the position of the measuring target is finely adjusted by a prism compensator of the lens meter.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a lens pad with a prism according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a lens pad, which is used in accordance with the optical characteristics of a lens meter used for measurement. Reference numeral 11 denotes a prism which is formed in accordance with the inner diameter of the opening of the lens pad 10.
This prism was made to have a prism refractive power of 20 cm / m. In this embodiment, a plastic prism having an Abbe number of 32 is used. This is because a progressive-power lens using a high-refractive-index material causes chromatic aberration when measuring the refractive power of the near portion because the Abbe number is low, but when a prism having the same Abbe number is used, the prism itself is used. This is because the chromatic aberration is also canceled at the same time as this, and more accurate measurement of the refractive power can be performed.
[0009]
FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a state where the prism is incorporated in the lens pad. The symbols in the figure are the same as those described above. In this embodiment, the prism 11 is assembled so that the upper surface of the prism 11 coincides with the upper end of the opening of the lens pad 10. In this way, even if the measurement light is refracted by the prism 11, there is an advantage that the aperture is not caused by the opening of the lens pad by being disposed at the very upper end of the lens pad. The outer surface of the lens pad 10 is marked so that the base direction of the built-in prism 11 can be recognized.
[0010]
FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are conceptual diagrams for measuring the near refractive power of a progressive-power lens using the lens pad with a prism of the present invention. In general, the purpose of measuring the near power of a progressive power is to determine the addition power. Official standards, such as ISO and JIS, stipulate that when obtaining the additional refractive power, the surface to which the additional refractive power is applied is measured by applying the surface to the lens pad. FIG. 3 shows the case where the progressive refraction surface (the surface to which the addition refracting power is applied) is on the lens convex surface side, and the refractive power is measured at the near power measuring position by applying the lens convex surface to the lens pad. FIG. 4 shows a case where the progressive refraction surface is on the lens concave surface side, and the refractive power is measured at the near portion power measurement position by applying the lens concave surface to the lens pad. In both the case of FIG. 3 and the case of FIG. 4, the prism base at the near power measurement position is directed toward the lens outer peripheral portion. In order to cancel this prism, the prism in the lens pad is installed so that the base faces toward the center of the lens. In the case where the lens has a positive power, the base of the prism at the near portion power measurement position is directed toward the center of the lens. Therefore, the lens base with the prism is installed such that the base of the prism is directed toward the outer periphery of the lens.
[0011]
Since a lens holder with a prism is inexpensive, several types of prisms 11 are prepared, for example, 5 cm / m, 10 cm / m, and 15 cm / m, and can be selected according to the lens to be measured. In particular, a commercially available lens meter can display the measurement target on the display surface even with a deviation of about 5 cm / m, so if a lens with a prism is prepared every 5 cm / m, it can be used for almost any lens. It is possible. If the lens meter to be used is equipped with a prism compensator, the prism compensator corrects the prism that cannot be canceled by the lens with a prism according to the present invention or the prism that is excessively canceled out. Thereby, the measurement target can be moved to the center of the measurement surface of the lens meter, and more accurate refractive power measurement can be performed.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it becomes possible to measure the refractive power by canceling out the prism of the lens with an intensity prism which cannot be measured by a commercially available lens meter. Since the lens abutment and the prism can be manufactured at low cost, they can be provided at a low cost to an optician or an ophthalmologist, and the mistake of making eyeglasses with a different prescription lens can be prevented.
