Abstract
A method and system for providing the characteristics of an ophthalmic lens, the ophthalmic lens comprising a data carrier for carrying data associated with the ophthalmic lens, the data carrier having a device operable in a magnetic and/or electrical mode to emit data in response to activation by an activating signal applied by an external means.
Claims20
An ophthalmic lens comprising:
- at least one data carrier for carrying data related to the ophthalmic lens, the data carrier comprising a device operable in a magnetic and/or electrical mode to emit data in response to activation by an activating signal applied by an external means.
A system for providing the characteristics of an ophthalmic lens,
- said ophthalmic lens having a data carrier for carrying data related to said ophthalmic lens, said data carrier having a device operable in a magnetic and/or electrical mode to emit data in response to activation by an activating signal applied by an external means;
- said external means having receiving means for receiving said emitted data, and logic means for processing said received data to issue an advisory signal indicative of the characteristics of said ophthalmic lens.
A method for providing the characteristics of an ophthalmic lens, said method having the steps of:
- providing said ophthalmic lens with an identifying means comprising, a data carrier for carrying data related to said ophthalmic lens, said data carrier having a device operable in a magnetic and/or electrical mode;
- providing an activation signal from an external means;
- activating said device with said activation signal to cause said device to emit data in response to said activating signal;
- receiving and processing said emitted data;
- issuing an advisory signal indicative of the characteristics of said ophthalmic lens.
