Abstract
A lensmeter capable of measuring near-infrared ray transmittance of an eyeglass lens by adding a near-infrared ray measurement function to the lensmeter. The lensmeter includes a near-infrared ray transmittance measuring unit that includes a light emitting unit including a near-infrared ray light source for irradiating a measured lens with a near-infrared ray; and a light receiving unit including a near-infrared ray sensor for measuring a near-infrared ray transmittance of the measured lens by detecting an intensity of the near-infrared ray passing through the measured lens, and is located at one end of a housing of the lensmeter.
Claims3
A lensmeter comprising:
- a near-infrared ray transmittance measuring unit disposed at one end of a housing of the lensmeter, wherein the near-infrared ray transmittance measuring unit comprises:
- a light emitter including a near-infrared ray light source for irradiating a measured lens with a near-infrared ray;
- and
- a light receiver including a near-infrared ray sensor for measuring a near-infrared ray transmittance of the measured lens by detecting an intensity of the near-infrared ray passing through the measured lens;
- and
- a lensmeter unit, which comprises:
- a refractive power measuring light source for irradiating the measured lens disposed on a lens support with refractive power measurement light;
- and
- a refractive power detector that detects the refractive power measurement light whose optical path is changed based on a refractive power of the measured lens while passing through the measured lens disposed on the lens support and calculates optical characteristics of the measured lens from a light quantity distribution and an image formation position of the detected refractive power measurement light,
- wherein the near-infrared ray light source is a near-infrared ray LED that emits near-infrared rays having a wavelength of 760 nm to 1400 nm,
- wherein the refractive power detector is disposed below the lens support to support the lens support, the refractive power detector is integrally formed with the near-infrared ray transmittance measuring unit, and the refractive power detector and the near-infrared ray transmittance measuring unit have externally a single pillar shape, and
- wherein the refractive power measuring light source, the lens support, the refractive power detector, the near-infrared ray light source, and the near-infrared ray sensor are sequentially disposed in a vertical direction.
