Abstract
A method for producing a spectacle lens from a lens material and includes: a marking step of marking an identification mark for identifying the spectacle lens, and a processing information mark which is used to process a lens blank and includes a tray identification 2D code, a tray identification code, a shape line and a position mark by forming a hole or a groove in a convex surface of the lens material by laser; and a concave surface machining processing step of reading the processing information mark, and machining a concave surface of the lens blank based on the read processing information mark.
Claims11
A method for producing a spectacle lens from a lens material, the method comprising:
- a marking step of marking an identification information mark on a convex surface of the lens material by pulse laser, the identification information mark comprising a unique number assigned to each spectacle lens for identifying the spectacle lens;
- and
- a hardcoating step of applying a hard film on the lens, wherein:
- the identification information mark is marked in an area of the lens material to be used as the spectacle lens, and comprises dots separated from each other formed by pulse irradiation of the pulse laser,
- said dots each having a depth of 0.1 μm or more and 3 μm or less and having a diameter of 5 to 30 μm so that the mark is visible, by magnifying, through the hard film,
- said pulse laser having a pulse width of pico second order or femto second order and having a wavelength of 1064 nm, 532 nm, or 355 nm.
A spectacle lens having a convex surface and a concave surface, which comprises:
- an identification information mark formed on the convex surface, and a hard coating applied on the convex surface, wherein:
- the identification information mark comprises a unique number, assigned to each spectacle lens respectively for identifying the spectacle lens, formed by dots with a predetermined intervals each formed by irradiation of pico second or femto second pulse laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, 532 nm, or 355 nm, and
- a depth of the dots is 0.1 μm or more and 3 μm or less and a diameter of the dots is 5 to 30 μm so that the identification information mark is visible, by magnifying, through the hard coating.
