Abstract
A method for producing an instruction for bevelling an ophthalmic lens, with a view to mounting same in a framework of a spectacle frame into which a bevelled display lens is initially fitted. The method includes the steps of: a) acquiring a correction parameter relative to the play between the framework and the display lens; b) capturing a surface image of the display lens previously removed from the framework; c) determining, on the surface image, an initial contour (C0) of the display lens; d) calculating a corrected contour (C1), by correcting the initial contour according to the correction parameter; and e) deriving the bevelling instruction according to the corrected contour.
Claims11
A method for working out a setting for beveling an ophthalmic lens, with a view to its insertion in an eyewire of a spectacle frame in which a beveled demonstration lens is initially mounted, including steps consisting in:
- a) acquiring a correctional parameter relating to the play between the eyewire and the demonstration lens;
- b) capturing a front-on image of the demonstration lens extracted beforehand from the eyewire;
- c) determining, in said front-on image, an initial outline of said demonstration lens;
- d) calculating a corrected outline, by correcting the initial outline depending on said correctional parameter;
- and
- e) deducing said beveling setting depending on said corrected outline.
