Abstract

A centering device of a spectacle wearer has a fixation target that generates a flatly extended light field at a measurement location for illuminating an eye of the spectacle wearer. A measurer ascertains a measurement position of the eye when viewing the light field generated by the fixation target. A corrector includes deviation information about a deviation of the light field actually generated at the measurement location by the fixation target from a setpoint light field predetermined at the measurement location, and corrects the ascertained measurement position of the eye when viewing the light field generated at the measurement location, considering the deviation information, to an eye setpoint position which the eye would prospectively adopt at the measurement location if it were to view the predetermined setpoint light field there. A parameter calculator ascertains, based on the eye setpoint position, an optical centering parameter to be determined.

Abstract

In a method for determining visual acuity characteristics of a subject having at least one astigmatic ametropia, ametropia data of the subject is provided, wherein the ametropia data include at least one axial position of a required optical cylinder correction. A preferred direction (V1; V2) is selected in such a way that this preferred direction (V1; V2) either corresponds to the axis position assigned to the optical cylinder correction or is rotated by 90° to this axis position. Alternatively, the preferred direction can be derived from wavefront data using a point spread function. An optical effect is applied at least in the selected preferred direction. At least one adapted optotype is displayed, which has a directional feature, wherein the adapted optotype is displayed orientated such that its directed feature is arranged parallel to the preferred direction (V1; V2). Visual acuity characteristics of the subject are determined for the selected preferred direction (V1; V2), taking into account at least one dimension of the directed feature of the adapted optotype and the applied optical effect.

Abstract

A fixation target (70) serves to produce a light field for aligning the viewing direction of a spectacle wearer (30) when measuring the spectacle wearer (30) by means of a centration apparatus (10). A transparent lens body (60) is used during operation to optically shape an electromagnetic radiation of the produced light field. During operation, the electromagnetic radiation of the produced light field is emitted in an emission direction (A) from an optical emission side (61) of the lens body (60). A back side (62) of the lens body (61) is formed on a back side surface of the lens body (60) facing away from the emission side (61). In this case, the transparent lens body (60) extends from the emission side (61) to the back side (62) counter to the emission direction (A) and, in the process, extends at least to a focal plane of the lens body (60).

Abstract

An optical element includes a substrate and an interferometric reflection-reducing layer system on at least one surface of the substrate. The layer system includes a stack of at least four successive layer packets, wherein each layer packet includes a first sub-layer with a first optical depth and a second sub-layer with a second optical depth which differs from the first optical depth. The refractive index of each first sub-layer nearer the substrate is greater than the refractive index of each second sub-layer further away from the substrate, of the respective stack, wherein the layer system has a brightness, a colorfulness, and a hue angle of a residual reflection color. The value of a change in the hue angle of the residual reflection color in a range of a viewing angle with the boundary values of 0° and 30° relative to a surface normal to the layer system is smaller than the value of a change in the colorfulness in the range of the viewing angle.
