Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The spectacle lens includes a lens substrate; a multilayer film disposed on one surface of the lens substrate; and a multilayer film disposed on the other surface of the lens substrate, wherein an average reflectance within the wavelength range from 380 to 500 nm measured at least on one surface of the spectacle lens is 10.00% or more, and a reflectance measured at least on one surface of the spectacle lens is 5.00% or less in the entire range within the wavelength range from 400 to 780 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A spectacle lens, comprising: a lens substrate; a multilayer film disposed on one of an object side surface and an eyeball side surface of the lens substrate; and a multilayer film disposed on an other of the object side surface and the eyeball side surface of the lens substrate, wherein an average reflectance within the wavelength range from 380 to 500 nm measured at least on the one surface of the spectacle lens is 10.00% or more, and at each wavelength within a range from 400 nm to 780 nm, at least one of the following conditions is met: (a) a reflectance on an object side surface of the spectacle lens exceeds 5.00% and a reflectance on an eyeball side surface of the spectacle lens is 5.00% or less at a corresponding wavelength; (b) the reflectance on the eyeball side surface of the spectacle lens exceeds 5.00%, and the reflectance on the object side surface of the spectacle lens is 5.00% or less at the corresponding wavelength; and (c) the reflectance on the object side surface of the spectacle lens is 5.00% or less and the reflectance on the eyeball side surface of the spectacle lens is 5.00% or less at the corresponding wavelength. 2. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the average reflectance within the wavelength range from 380 to 500 nm measured on the one surface is 10.00% or more, and the average reflectance within the wavelength range from 380 to 500 nm measured on the other surface is less than 10.00%, and a first average reflectance within the wavelength range from 430 to 450 nm measured on the one surface where the average reflectance of the spectacle lens within the wavelength range from 380 to 500 nm is 10.00% or more, is 12.00% or more. 3. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein, on a surface where the average reflectance within the wavelength range from 380 to 500 nm is 10.00% or more, a difference between the first average reflectance within the wavelength range from 430 to 450 nm and a second average reflectance within the wavelength range from 460 to 480 nm of the spectacle lens, that is (first average reflectance-second average reflectance), is 5.00% or more. 4. The spectacle lens according claim 1 , wherein, in the entire range of the wavelength range of more than 500 nm and 780 nm or less, the reflectance on the object side surface of the spectacle lens is 5.00% or less and the reflectance on the eyeball side surface of the spectacle lens is 5.00% or less at the corresponding wavelength. 5. Spectacles including the spectacle lenses according to claim 1 .
