Even if it is obtained, it does not protrude from the three-dimensional shape. Preferably, both shapes do not touch when the above superimposition is assumed.
- the relationship between the sag values may be satisfied in the lens base material on which the defocus areas a and b are formed.

- one aspect of the present invention allows control of the best position for wave optics contrast. The reason for this will be described in detail below.
- FIG. 3A shows a case where the defocus region has a spherical shape with a diameter of 1 mm and the refractive index of the spectacle lens is 1.59, the vertical axis is VSOTF (Visual Strehl ratio based on OTF), and the horizontal axis is defocus.

- a solid line is a plot when the refractive power of the defocus area is set to 4.00D.
- a dotted line is a plot when the refractive power of the defocus area is set to 4.50D.
- Example 1 For settings other than the diameter of the defocus area and the refractive index of the spectacle lens, the description of Example 1 below is adopted.
- FIG. 4A the vertical axis is VSOTF (Visual Strehl ratio based on OTF) when the defocus area is a spherical shape with a diameter of 1 mm, the refractive power is 4.00 D, and the refractive index of the spectacle lens is 1.59.
- the horizontal axis is the defocus amount (unit: D (diopter), zero is the retina position).
- FIG. 4(b) is an enlarged view of FIG. 4(a).
- the solid line is a plot when the refractive power of the defocus area is 4.00D, which is the same as the plot shown in FIG. 3(a).
- the dashed line is a plot when the defocus region of the solid line is lowered by 0.23 ⁇ m (eg FIG. 2).
- the dotted line is a plot when the defocus area of the solid line is raised by 0.23 ⁇ m (eg, FIG. 1).
- VSOTF is a scalar quantity that takes into account the contrast sensitivity characteristics that are considered to be due to the retinal structure or the nervous system. VSOTF is the sum of the real parts of OTFs weighted in consideration of the sensitivity characteristics for each spatial frequency of the eye. Specific formulas are as follows. Molecular OTF: OTF (Optical Transfer Function) in a real lens. Denominator OTFDL: OTF when the lens is assumed to have no aberrations. CSF: Contrast Sensitivity Function with respect to spatial frequency of human vision. CSF has a sensitivity peak at low frequencies well below the cutoff frequency.
- VSOTF is described in the following document "Thibos LN, Hong X, Bradley A, Applegate RA. Accuracy and precision of objective refraction from wavefront aberrations. J Vis. 2004 Apr 23;4(4):329-51.” Therefore, the description here is omitted.
- OTF is one of the scales for evaluating lens performance, and expresses how much the contrast of a visible object can be faithfully reproduced on the image plane as a spatial frequency characteristic.
- a large MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) value which is the absolute value of OTF, means that the wearer perceives a high contrast when viewing an object through the lens.
- the luminous flux As shown in FIG. 3(b), apart from the luminous flux condensed on the retina (zero value on the horizontal axis) by the base area, the luminous flux converges in front of the retina and enters the retina as divergent light. Then, the defocus amount at that time differs depending on the refractive power of the defocus area.
- the present inventor found that by raising the defocus area, the same situation as when increasing the refractive power of the defocus area can be reproduced.
- the inventors have found that by lowering the defocus area, the same situation as when the refractive power of the defocus area is decreased can be reproduced.
- the wavefront of the spectacle lens and the Zernike polynomials may be used to calculate the focus position based on the VSOTF.
- the wavefront of a spectacle lens refers to the wavefront of a light beam that passes through the spectacle lens and whose diameter is defined by the pupil.
- a Zernike polynomial is a function (orthogonal polynomial) defined inside a unit circle with a radius of 1. Specifically, it is represented by the following equation (1).
- W(x, y) is the wavefront at coordinates x, y, Zj(x, y) is the j-th Zernike polynomial, cj is the Zernike coefficient corresponding to the j-th Zernike polynomial, J is the expansion The number of Zernike polynomials to use.
- all surface shapes can be (approximately) expressed by adding Zernike polynomials.
- FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of shape decomposition using Zernike polynomials.
- each component surrounded by a frame near the center indicates a rotationally symmetric component, and each component other than that indicates a non-rotationally symmetric component.
- the secondary aberration component belonging to the rotationally symmetrical component is generally called a power error (defocus), and the aberration coefficient corresponds to the focus position where the wavefront aberration is minimized.
- a fourth-order aberration component belonging to the rotationally symmetric component is a component corresponding to spherical aberration.
- the sum of the coefficients of each component belonging to the rotationally symmetric component corresponds to the focus position where the PSF (Point Spread Function) is minimized.
- PSF Point Spread Function
- each weighting of the rotationally symmetric components when expanded by the Zernike polynomial may be set to 1. If each weighting of the rotationally symmetrical components is set to 1, it becomes possible to calculate the focus position that minimizes the PSF. However, weights for components that do not have significant quantities may be omitted.
- the focus position can be calculated from the expansion coefficients of the Zernike polynomials. It is assumed that a light beam is incident on a surface of a spectacle lens having a refractive index of N and that draws a gentle curve at an angle ⁇ and exits at an angle ⁇ '. In that case, the sag value Z, which represents the lens shape and is the amount of displacement from the base surface, and the wavefront aberration W have the following proportional relationship.
- hx, hy are the pupil heights of rays normalized to ⁇ 1.
- x, y are the coordinates on the lens corresponding to the hx, hy settings.
- the diameter of the defocus area here, the diameter in plan view
- the wavefront and the sag value Z of the three-dimensional shape of the defocus area are in a proportional correspondence relationship.
- the ray aberrations (lateral aberrations) Dx and Dy at a distance l from the lens are the differentiation of the wavefront aberration W by h and the F value of the defocus area (when one defocus area is regarded as a lens) as shown in the following equation. It can be expressed as a product.
- the definition of the focus position varies depending on the idea and application, such as the position where the contrast of the target spatial frequency is the highest, the position where the energy is the highest, and the position where the variation in light rays is the smallest.
- the position where the energy is the highest is equivalent to "the position where the sum of the contrasts of all spatial frequencies is the highest", and the position where the dispersion of light rays is the smallest (specifically, the position where the PSF is the smallest) is "zero It is equivalent to "the position where the contrast of the low spatial frequency that is extremely close is the highest”.
- the position where the energy is highest corresponds to the so-called focal length obtained from the curvature of the wavefront.
- the position where the dispersion of light rays is the smallest can be calculated as the focus position from the amount of light aberration as follows.
- the focus position is the state where all the aberrations caused by defocus included in the ray aberration are removed, that is, the position where the residual aberration after removing the defocus aberration is the minimum. This is represented by a formula.
- the dispersion of the PSF which is a function representing the position of a ray on a certain image plane, is the sum of squares of lateral aberrations as shown in the following equation.
- the ray aberration due to the defocus amount P is a linear function of (hx, hy). Therefore, the position where the residual when the aberration is approximated by a linear function is the minimum position of the PSF dispersion. That is, the position shifted by the defocus amount from the image plane becomes the focus position.
- the following formula shows this situation.
- the first parenthesis on the right side is the reciprocal of the square of the radius ( ⁇ /2) of the defocus area in plan view, so it is the reciprocal of the base area.
- the first term in the second bracket on the right side is the integrated value of the wavefront aberration over the entire defocus area. Since the wavefront aberration corresponds to the amount of lens sag, this term corresponds to the integral of the amount of lens sag, ie, the volume.
- the height of the second term in the second bracket on the right side is the average height of the base surface surrounding the defocus area.
- the second parenthesis on the right side refers to the volume of the hatched part in Figure 1 or the hatched part in Figure 2.
- the second parenthesis on the right side indicates the volume of the entire hatched portion j because all the sag values of the three-dimensional shape of the defocused area are positive.
- the value in the second parenthesis on the right side indicates the value obtained by subtracting the volume of hatch k below the base surface from the volume of the portion above the base surface (hatch j) in the defocus area.
- the defocus amount P and the focus position are based on the height of the base surface (hereinafter simply referred to as the "outermost circumference") that is adjacent to the defocus area and surrounds the defocus area in plan view. It corresponds to a value obtained by dividing the integrated value of the sag value at the time by the bottom area of the defocus area.
- the portion between the defocus region and the base surface and having a positive sag value is proportional to the value obtained by dividing the value obtained by subtracting the volume (integral value) of the portion having the sag value of , by the bottom area of the defocus region.
- the sum of the rotationally symmetrical components of the Zernike polynomials is the integrated value of the progress of the wavefront with reference to the outermost circumference of the defocus area. This corresponds to the integrated value of the sag value with reference to the outermost periphery of the defocus area.
- the focus position can be controlled by raising or lowering the defocus area (in other words, raising or digging).
- the focus position by MTF is roughly determined by the radius of curvature R of the defocus area.
- the focus position by MTF is roughly determined by the integrated value of the sag value Z when the outermost periphery of the defocus area is used as a reference.
- the focus position in the frequency characteristics of the eye is determined by the radius of curvature R and the integrated value of the sag value Z.
- the geometric focal determined by the radius of curvature R of the defocus area and the focus determined by the integrated value of the sag value Z of the defocus area (best focus position at low frequencies).
- the power of the defocus area that brings about this focus position is also called segment power.
- the focus control of the defocus area for the wearer can be performed simply by increasing or decreasing the sag value of the defocus area and displacing each defocus area up and down. Become. Note that this "equal" means that the error in the bottom area of each defocus area from the average value of the bottom area of each defocus area is 10% or less (preferably 5% or less, 3% or less, 1% or less) ).
- the "bottom area” in this specification is the area of the portion surrounded by the outermost periphery of the defocus area.
- the area of the region overlapping the base surface is taken as the bottom area.
- the sag value of the outermost circumference is negative, the area of the portion surrounded by the most negative sag value is taken as the bottom area.
- the area of the defocus area (or convex area) in plan view may be adopted as the bottom area.
- the defocus power that should be given to the wearer changes depending on the wearer or the position of the lens. This means increasing or decreasing the sag value of the defocus area depending on the position of the defocus area on the spectacle lens.
- An example of this idea and application is listed below.
- the predetermined position B may be positioned closer to the center of the lens, and the predetermined position A may be positioned closer to the periphery of the lens. That is, by setting the sag value of the defocus region high near the lens center and setting the sag value of the defocus region low near the lens periphery, the power error-induced power increase may be canceled.
- the sag value in the vicinity of the base area may be negative.
- the sag value of the entire three-dimensional shape of the defocus area a may be positive.
- the eyeball optical system has curvature of field based on Petzval's law, but the curvature of the retina has a stronger curvature than that. Therefore, in general, the condensing position of the luminous flux is on the back side of the retina in the peripheral portion of the retina. In particular, myopic people tend to have a stronger curvature of the retina due to the elongation of the axial length of the eye, and the condensing position tends to be deeper.
- the defocus power in the peripheral area is high for wearers whose retinal curvature is estimated to be high based on information such as the measured retinal shape, axial length, and degree of myopia progression. It is considered that glasses should be prescribed.
- the predetermined position A may be positioned closer to the center of the lens, and the predetermined position B may be positioned closer to the periphery of the lens. That is, by setting the sag value of the defocus region high near the lens periphery and setting the sag value of the defocus region low near the center of the lens, the curvature of the peripheral portion of the retina may be dealt with. At this time, in the three-dimensional shape of the defocus area a at the predetermined position A, the sag value near the base area may be negative.
- the incident angle differs between the ear side and the nose side. Also in this case, it is necessary to set the defocus power asymmetrically according to the asymmetrical incident angles on the ear side and the nose side.
- the degree of increase in the sag value may be varied depending on whether the lens is closer to the periphery of the lens or closer to the periphery of the ear side.
- the predetermined position A may be the position on the nose side
- the predetermined position B may be the position on the ear side.
- the predetermined position A may be the position on the ear side
- the predetermined position B may be the position on the nose side.
- the sag value near the base area may be negative.
- the sag value of the entire three-dimensional shape of the defocus area a at the predetermined position A and the sag value of the entire three-dimensional shape of the defocus area b at the predetermined position may both be positive or negative.
- the defocus area b has a raised shape of the defocus area a.
- the volume of the convex region including the defocus region b is larger than the volume of the convex region including the defocus region a.
- the sag value of the central portion of the three-dimensional shape of the defocus region b may be equal to the sag value of the central portion of the three-dimensional shape of the defocus region a (whole in some cases) increased by a predetermined value.
- the shape of the base portion caused by the protrusion may be appropriately set so as to connect with the base region.
- the three-dimensional shape of the defocus area m at the intermediate position M is used as a reference, and the defocus area b at the predetermined position B is determined.
- the defocus area b at the predetermined position B is determined. is a value obtained by increasing the sag value of the central portion of the three-dimensional shape of the defocus region m (uplift, raising), and the defocus region a at the predetermined position A reduces the sag value of the three-dimensional shape of the defocus region m. It may be set as a value (subsidence, excavation).

装用者にとっての、眼鏡レンズ上におけるデフォーカス領域が設けられた位置に応じてピント位置を変更する演算部としてコンピュータ装置を機能させる、眼鏡レンズの設計プログラム。
本発明の一態様に係る眼鏡レンズは、物体側の面から入射した光束を眼球側の面から出射させ、眼球を介して網膜上に収束させるベース領域と、ベース領域に囲まれたデフォーカス領域であって、デフォーカス領域の少なくとも一部を通過する光束が発散光として網膜に入射する性質を持つ複数のデフォーカス領域と、を備える。
図2は、デフォーカス領域の立体形状(図2(a))のサグ値を減少させ、ベース面に対してデフォーカス領域を沈下させ、別のデフォーカス領域の立体形状(図2(b))を設定する様子を示す概略(X-Z)断面図である。図2(c)は、両立体形状のサグ値の違いを示すべくベース面で両立体形状の平面視中心で位置合わせしたときの説明断面図である。点線はベース面を示す。破線は、デフォーカス領域の沈降に伴い、ベース領域とデフォーカス領域との間に新たに形成された陥凹部分4である。図2(c)の長破線は図2(b)のデフォーカス領域の立体形状を示し、図2(c)の実線は図2(a)のデフォーカス領域の立体形状を示す。
なお、図2の上記説明は、(a)から(b)への変化に関する。その一方、(b)から(a)への変化も許容される。その場合、(b)のデフォーカス領域の立体形状のサグ値を増加させ、ベース面に対してデフォーカス領域を隆起させ、別のデフォーカス領域の立体形状を設定していると言える。
図3(b)は、図3(a)の拡大図である。
破線は、デフォーカス領域の屈折力を3.50Dとしたときのプロットである。実線は、デフォーカス領域の屈折力を4.00Dとしたときのプロットである。点線は、デフォーカス領域の屈折力を4.50Dとしたときのプロットである。デフォーカス領域の直径及び眼鏡レンズの屈折率以外の設定は、後掲の実施例1の記載を採用する。
図4(b)は、図4(a)の拡大図である。
実線は、デフォーカス領域の屈折力を4.00Dとしたときのプロットであり、図3(a)に記載のプロットと同じである。破線は、実線のデフォーカス領域を0.23μm沈下させたときのプロットである(例えば図2)。点線は、実線のデフォーカス領域を0.23μm隆起させたときのプロットである(例えば図1)。
分母のOTFDL:レンズにおいて無収差と仮定したときのOTFである。
CSF:人の視覚の空間周波数に対するコントラスト感度関数(Contrast Sensitivity Function)である。CSFは、カットオフ周波数に対して十分低い低周波にて感度のピークを持つ。
((網膜からの中周波ピント位置までの距離)×3+(網膜からの低周波ピント位置までの距離))/4=(眼にとってのピント位置であって網膜からの距離)
このピント位置をもたらすデフォーカス領域のパワーをセグメントパワーとも称する。
レンズ中心から離れた部分(レンズ周辺寄りの部分、レンズ周辺部)では周辺視時に用いられるため、斜入射による非点収差とパワーエラーとが発生する。そのため、レンズ中心に対して入射及び出射する光束が装用者にもたらすデフォーカスパワーと、レンズ周辺寄りの部分に対して入射及び出射する光束が装用者にもたらすデフォーカスパワーとは相違する。
眼鏡レンズ上の位置の相違がもたらすデフォーカスパワーの相違の別の例としては、以下の内容がある。
眼の像面湾曲や網膜の湾曲は、鼻側と耳側とで非対称であることが知られており、その度合いにも個人差がある。したがって、装用者によってはデフォーカスパワーを耳側と鼻側値で非対称にする方が好ましい。
本発明の一態様における眼鏡レンズの好適例及び変形例について、以下に述べる。
R={h2+(C/2)2}/2h
複数のデフォーカス領域の配置の態様は、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、デフォーカス領域の外部からの視認性、デフォーカス領域によるデザイン性付与、デフォーカス領域による屈折力調整等の観点から決定できる。
そして、レンズ基材を得たら、次いで、そのレンズ基材の表面に、ハードコート膜を成膜する。ハードコート膜は、ハードコート液にレンズ基材を浸漬させる方法や、スピンコート等を使用することにより、形成することができる。
ハードコート膜を成膜したら、更に、そのハードコート膜の表面に、反射防止膜を成膜する。反射防止膜は、反射防止剤を真空蒸着により成膜することにより、形成することができる。
このような手順の製造方法により、物体側に向けて突出する複数のデフォーカス領域を物体側の面に有する眼鏡レンズが得られる。
本発明は、眼鏡レンズの設計方法にも適用可能である。具体的には、上記式1を満たすよう条件設定して眼鏡レンズを設計する。本設計方法の各構成の内容の詳細は、<眼鏡レンズ>と記載内容が重複するため省略する。なお、本設計方法を用いて設計した眼鏡レンズを製造する方法にも本発明の技術的思想が反映されている。
以下、眼鏡レンズの設計方法の一構成を記載する。
「物体側の面から入射した光束を眼球側の面から出射させ、眼球を介して網膜上に収束させるベース領域と、
ベース領域に囲まれたデフォーカス領域であって、デフォーカス領域の少なくとも一部を通過する光束が発散光として網膜に入射する性質を持つ複数のデフォーカス領域と、を備える眼鏡レンズの設計方法であって、

デフォーカス領域の立体形状のサグ値を減少させてベース面に対してデフォーカス領域を沈下させることにより、
装用者にとっての、眼鏡レンズ上におけるデフォーカス領域が設けられた位置に応じてピント位置を変更する、眼鏡レンズの設計方法。」
このとき、近視進行の程度、脈絡膜の様態、装用時の入射角、眼の収差(像面湾曲)、網膜の湾曲といった装用者に関するパラメータによるピント位置の変化に対応するように、各デフォーカス領域のサグ値を決定するのが好ましい。
