Flat ophthalmic lens synthesized from its specifications

An optical device having at least one saw-toothed surface zone comprising saw-teeth, characterized by the fact that it is curved to a predetermined shape to become a prescription optical device, and after curving said optical device to said predetermined shape, the principal curvatures and the principal curvatures directions are such that the light rays are refracted according to a required predetermined prescription.

A prescription ophthalmic lens having at least one saw-toothed surface zone comprising saw-teeth, characterized by the fact that after curving said ophthalmic lens to a predetermined arched shape, for almost every intersection of said saw-tooth surface with a viewing-angle, the curvatures and the curvatures directions are such that the prescription of said arched ophthalmic lens and the disorder of the eye to be corrected are substantially individually corrected and adapted to each other as to direction and extent.

A machine comprising a means to transfer prescription parameters and an arched macroscopic shape into input data that will make a mold or create a desired surface for a prescription optical device, wherein said prescription optical device is characterized by having at least one flat saw-toothed surface zone, and wherein said flat saw-toothed surface zone is characterized by the fact that the required prescription is obtained when said optical device is folded or curved to a predetermined shape.

A mold to make a prescription optical device, wherein said prescription optical device is characterized by having at least one flat saw-toothed surface zone, and wherein said flat saw-toothed surface zone is characterized by the fact that the required prescription is obtained when said optical device is folded or curved to a predetermined shape.
