Abstract

An aligning prism amount determination device to determine an aligning prism amount for correcting fixation disparity of a spectacle wearer, having the fixation disparity, includes a determiner to determine an aligning prism amount to be uniformly included in the spectacle lens for correcting the fixation disparity, based on a first aligning prism amount obtained by measuring an aligning prism amount of the spectacle wearer at an eye examination distance corresponding to a first distance, a second aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a second distance shorter than the first distance, and information used for allocation of the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount, within a prism prescription range between the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A spectacle lens supply system to supply a spectacle lens for correcting fixation disparity of a spectacle wearer, of a spectacle lens, having the fixation disparity, the system comprising:
a determination section to determine an aligning prism amount to be uniformly included in the spectacle lens for correcting the fixation disparity, based on a first aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a first distance, a second aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a second distance shorter than the first distance, and information used for allocation of the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount, within a prism prescription range between the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount.

2. The spectacle lens supply system according to claim 1 , wherein the information used for allocation of the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount relates to a life scene where the spectacle wearer plans to use the spectacle lens.

3. The spectacle lens supply system according to claim 2 , the system comprising:
a measurement information input section to input the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount; and
a life scene information input section to input the information related to the life scene.

4. The spectacle lens supply system according to claim 3 , the system further comprising a display to display an input screen for inputting the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount.

5. The spectacle lens supply system according to claim 3 ,
wherein the life scene information input section inputs information representing an importance index based on a life style of the spectacle wearer for each of a plurality of life scenes prepared in advance, and
the determination section obtains allocation within the prism prescription range using the importance index for each of the plurality of life scenes input by the input section and determines an aligning prism amount for correcting the fixation disparity according to this allocation.

6. The spectacle lens supply system according to claim 3 , wherein the life scene information input section inputs, as the information related to the life scene, a coefficient K (where 0<K<1.0 is satisfied) corresponding to a life style of the spectacle wearer, and the determination section determines an aligning prism amount for correcting the fixation disparity from the following formula 1 where a prism amount in a horizontal direction of the aligning prism amount for correcting the fixation disparity is denoted as APLH, a prism amount in a vertical direction thereof is denoted as APLV, a prism amount in the horizontal direction of the first aligning prism amount is denoted as APFOH, a prism amount in the vertical direction of the first aligning prism amount is denoted as APFOV, a prism amount in the horizontal direction of the second aligning prism amount is denoted as APNOH, and a prism amount in the vertical direction of the second aligning prism amount is denoted as APNOV
APLH=APFOH *(1− K )+ APNOH*KAPLV=APFOV *(1− K )+ APNOV*K.   [Formula 1]

7. The spectacle lens supply system according to claim 1 , wherein the first distance is an eye examination distance corresponding to distance vision and the second distance is an eye examination distance corresponding to near vision.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program for a spectacle lens supply system instructing that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer:
to determine an aligning prism amount for correcting a fixation disparity of a spectacle wearer, of a spectacle lens, when a first aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a first distance, a second aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a second distance shorter than the first distance, and information used for allocation of the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount are input, based on the input information within a prism prescription range between the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount.

9. A method for producing a spectacle lens for correcting fixation disparity of a spectacle wearer, of a spectacle lens, having the fixation disparity, the method comprising the steps of:
determining an aligning prism amount for correcting the fixation disparity, based on a first aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a first distance, a second aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a second distance shorter than the first distance, and information used for allocation of the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount, within a prism prescription range between the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount; and
producing a spectacle lens uniformly including the determined aligning prism amount for correcting the fixation disparity.

10. A prism amount determination device to determine a prism amount for correcting fixation disparity of a spectacle wearer, of a spectacle lens, having the fixation disparity, the device comprising:
a determination section to determine an aligning prism amount to be uniformly included in the spectacle lens for correcting the fixation disparity, based on a first aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a first distance, a second aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a second distance shorter than the first distance, and information used for allocation of the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount, within a prism prescription range between the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount.

11. A prism amount determination method to determine an aligning prism amount for correcting fixation disparity of a spectacle wearer, of a spectacle lens, having the fixation disparity, the method comprising the step of:
determining an aligning prism amount for correcting the fixation disparity, based on a first aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a first distance, a second aligning prism amount obtained by measurement at an eye examination distance corresponding to a second distance shorter than the first distance, and information used for allocation of the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount, within a prism prescription range between the first aligning prism amount and the second aligning prism amount.
