Abstract:
A method cuts a patch to be applied onto a curved substrate and includes the preliminary calculation of curvilinear lengths on the substrate between a reference point and a peripheral edge of said substrate. The calculated lengths are applied to a planar film for making the patch, and then the patch is cut by connecting the ends of the applied lengths. The patch then precisely coincides with the edge of the substrate. Such a method is particularly useful for applying a functional film onto a spectacle lens, as a trimming of the lens after the film is assembled with the lens would degrade said film.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for transferring at least one coating onto at least one geometrically defined surface of a lens substrate to produced a lens substrate coated with at least one functional coating adhering to at least one geometrically defined surface through a layer of transparent adhesive composition.
Abstract:
The inventive method for recording data on an optical lens (2) consists in recording a data-containing source image, in generating the hologram (3) of the image source and in recording said hologram on the lens surface portion ranging from 0.5 mm2 to 15 mm2. The data can be read-out by illuminating said lens by means of a light beam (101) in the hologram area. A read-out image (105, 106) which reproduces the source image and on which data is readable is formed at a distance from the lens. Said lens can be embodied, in particular in the form of an ophthalmic lens.
Abstract:
A transparent and polarizing vision element (2) divided into several areas. At least two of said areas are associated with a luminous polarization filter. The light flowing through the element is allocated differently for two the areas according to a direction of notarization of the light. At least one polarization filter is oriented vertically, and at least one polarization filter is oriented horizontally in relation to the usual position of the element.
Abstract:
An ophthalmic lens includes: a transparent ophthalmic lens substrate made of organic glass; an adhesive layer covering at least one of the faces of the transparent substrate; a transparent film made of a thermoplastic polymer fixed to the transparent substrate via the adhesive layer; and an abrasion-resistant coating covering the transparent thermoplastic polymer film, characterized in that the ophthalmic lens has a minimum thickness at the centre of less than 2 mm, preferably less than 1.5 mm and even more preferably less than 1.2 mm. Two processes for manufacturing such a lens and the use of an adhesive multilayer film to improve the impact strength of such a lens are also described.

Abstract:
Method of shaping an ophthalmic eyeglass lens presenting two main optical working faces and including firstly a substrate made of a first material and presenting two main faces corresponding to the two main faces of the lens, and secondly at least one coating film made of a material distinct from that of the substrate, the coating film being previously secured on at least one of the main faces of the substrate, includes: cutting the lens by machining with a first tool over at least the thickness of the previously secured coating film, to define internally a working central portion of the coating film that presents a reduced outline; trimming the edge face of the substrate along the desired outline by machining with a second distinct tool, without machining the working central portion; and finishing the edge face of the substrate without machining the working central portion.

Abstract:
A method for printing a binary hologram on a manufactured product comprises the provision of a stamp with a pattern corresponding to the hologram (30). The product is initially coated with a metal layer. The stamp is inked with a masking solution (40) and pressed against the manufactured product (50). Then, the hologram print is obtained by selective etching of parts of the metal layer which are not masked (60). The method is adapted for printing holograms on optical lenses.
