Claims16
An ophthalmic device comprising:
- an ophthalmic spectacle lens comprising two main surfaces and an edge linking the two main surfaces;
- and
- a plurality of electronic components arranged on a support forming a strip deposited in contact with and at a periphery on at least one of the main surfaces of the ophthalmic lens or on the edge of the ophthalmic lens, the plurality of electronic components being masked by a part of a frame configured to receive the ophthalmic device.
An ophthalmic apparatus comprising:
- at least one frame;
- and
- at least one ophthalmic device, which comprises an ophthalmic spectacle lens and a plurality of electronic components arranged in a form of at least one strip in contact with and at a periphery of the ophthalmic lens,
- wherein the electronic components arranged in the form of a strip are arranged on a support forming a strip and the support is deposited in contact with the ophthalmic lens, and wherein a part or the totality of the electronic components is masked by the frame.
A method for producing an ophthalmic device including an ophthalmic spectacle lens and a plurality of electronic components arranged in a form of at least one strip in contact with and at a periphery of the ophthalmic lens, the method comprising:
- providing an unedged ophthalmic lens;
- providing an edging contour for the ophthalmic lens;
- providing a flexible strip comprising electronic components arranged on a support;
- cutting the ophthalmic lens according to the edging contour to produce an edged ophthalmic lens;
- fixing the flexible strip at the periphery of the edged ophthalmic lens.
A method for producing an ophthalmic apparatus which includes at least one frame and at least one ophthalmic device, which includes an ophthalmic spectacle lens and a plurality of electronic components arranged in a form of at least one flexible strip in contact with and at a periphery of the ophthalmic lens, the method comprising:
- providing at least one flexible strip;
- arranging the electronic components on the flexible strip;
- providing at least one unedged ophthalmic lens;
- providing at least one edging contour for the ophthalmic lens;
- cutting at least the ophthalmic lens according to the edging contour to produce an edged ophthalmic lens;
- fixing the flexible strip with the electronic components at a periphery of the edged ophthalmic lens;
- fitting into place in the frame of the ophthalmic device comprising the edged ophthalmic lens and the flexible strip with the electronic components, such that a plurality of electronic components is in part or entirely masked by a part by the frame.
