Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided a spectacle lens including a lens base material and a multilayer film provided on each surface of an eyeball-side surface and an object-side surface of the lens base material, in which a mean reflectance R B(object) in a wavelength range of 430 to 450 nm measured on the object-side surface of the spectacle lens is equal to or more than 1.00%, and a mean reflectance R UV(eye) in a wavelength range of 280 to 380 nm measured on the eyeball-side surface of the spectacle lens is less than or equal to 15.00%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A spectacle lens comprising: a lens base material; and a multilayer film provided on each surface of an eyeball-side surface and an object-side surface of the lens base material, wherein: a mean reflectance R B(object) in a wavelength range of 430 to 450 nm measured on the object-side surface of the spectacle lens is equal to or more than 2.00% and less than or equal to 10.00%, a mean reflectance R B(eye) in the wavelength range of 430 to 450 nm measured on the eyeball-side surface of the spectacle lens is greater than the mean reflectance R B(object) , and a mean reflectance R UV(eye) over the entire wavelength range of 280 to 380 nm measured on the eyeball-side surface of the spectacle lens is greater than or equal to 6.11% and less than or equal to 15.00%. 2. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the mean reflectance R B(eye) is equal to or more than 2.00% and less than or equal to 10.00%. 3. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum reflectance in a wavelength range of 380 to 500 nm measured on the eyeball-side surface of the spectacle lens is in a wavelength range of 400 to 480 nm. 4. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein a mean reflectance in a wavelength range of 520 to 580 nm measured on the eyeball-side surface of the spectacle lens and a mean reflectance in a wavelength range of 520 to 580 nm measured on the object-side surface each are less than or equal to 0.60%, and a mean reflectance in a wavelength range of 580 to 780 nm measured on the eyeball-side surface of the spectacle lens and a mean reflectance in a wavelength range of 580 to 780 nm measured on the object-side surface each are less than or equal to 3.00%. 5. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the multilayer film provided on the eyeball-side surface of the lens base material and the multilayer film provided on the object-side surface of the lens base material each are a multilayer film in which a plurality of coats including an inorganic material as a principal component is laminated. 6. The spectacle lens according to claim 5 , wherein the multilayer film provided on the eyeball-side surface of the lens base material and/or the multilayer film provided on the object-side surface of the lens base material includes at least one laminated structure in which a coat including silicon oxide as a principal component and a coat including zirconium oxide as a principal component are adjacent. 7. The spectacle lens according to claim 5 , wherein the multilayer film provided on the eyeball-side surface of the lens base material and/or the multilayer film provided on the object-side surface of the lens base material includes at least one laminated structure in which a coat including silicon oxide as a principal component and a coat including niobium oxide as a principal component are adjacent. 8. The spectacle lens according to claim 5 , wherein the multilayer film provided on the eyeball-side surface of the lens base material and/or the multilayer film provided on the object-side surface of the lens base material includes at least one layer of a coat including conductive oxide as a principal component. 9. The spectacle lens according to claim 5 , wherein the coats are a vapor deposition film. 10. Spectacles comprising: a spectacle lens according to claim 1 ; and a frame equipped with the spectacle lens.
