We presented a paper describing some of the core ideas behind our lens design algorithm in San Diego at the SPIE Current Developments in Lens Design and Optical Engineering.
Formulens Ops
FormuLens Enterprise Operations (FormuLens Ops) is a cloud-based system of tools for giving businesses direct control over multiple lens designs and manufacturing labs. With FormuLensOps, businesses may configure the LDS (lens design software) options available to a lab or ECP
LifeForm Progressive Design
Lenses individually tailored to lifestyle Our LifeForm progressive addition lens design can be viewed as a set of 14 different designs which target different usage priorities (including balanced options, for general use), while still providing full progressive functionality. The ideal
SimuLens base functions
We have a new webpage explaining the basic functionality in SimuLens for simulating lenses a variety of ways. Click here to check it out.
Aspheric Back Surface Designs
For high power single-vision lenses, significant improvement can be achieved with freeform lenses, even with spheric blanks. The following plots describe the performance for a surface optimized for a +13 Diopter prescription with CR-39 and a spheric blank.
Small Lab LDS Software
FormuLens provides a minimal but fully-functional Lens Design Software (LDS) interface for ECP’s with their own generator and small labs, who don’t wish to purchase an expensive Lab Management Systems (LMS).
Higher-order wavefront correction
With completely custom lens surfaces comes the opportunity to try and address higher order aberrations. The changing gaze angle of the eye during normal vision makes correction difficult in general use. However, researchers have claimed some improvements in vision using
Progressive Addition Lens Anatomy
With digital lens surfacing (a.k.a freeform) one or both surfaces of a lens can be completely specified by the Lens Design System (LDS). For example the LDS can provide a height map, giving points on a grid of some chosen
Fast & Robust Wavefront Sensing
Rapidly rising levels of myopia, particularly in the developing world, have led to an increased need for inexpensive and automated approaches to optometry. A simple and robust technique is provided for estimating major ophthalmic aberrations using a gradient-based wavefront sensor.
Custom Generic Progressive Lens
The FormuLens Custom Generic PAL (Progressive Addition Lens) is a single product which can be adjusted through a wide range of performance requirements. With adjustable fitting heights from 12 to 22 mm, and “hardness” ranging between the extremes offered by
