Micro-markings that are defined the same way are also usually made on complex surfaces, such as on a front surface of a lens with a front surface comprising a progressive or regressive front surface.
  • Temporal markings may also be applied on at least one of the two surfaces of the lens, indicating positions of control points (reference points) on the lens, such as a control point for far- vision, a control point for near-vision, a prism reference point and a fitting cross for instance.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un verre ophtalmique à addition progressive adapté pour un porteur ayant une addition prescrite Add, ledit verre ophtalmique progressif ayant dans des conditions de port données : - une ligne méridienne avec un décentrement supérieur ou égal à 3°, - une croix de montage FC (αFC, βFC), et - une fonction optique symétrique par rapport à ladite ligne méridienne dans lesdites conditions de port données au moins sur un domaine de directions de regard (α, β) joignant le centre de rotation de l'œil du porteur et le verre, α étant un angle d'abaissement en degrés et β étant un angle d'azimut en degrés, le domaine des directions de regard étant un cercle de rayon supérieur ou égal à 36° et centré en α = 8° et β = 0° et où la puissance optique dans la direction de regard correspondant à la croix de montage est supérieure ou égale à 5 % de l'addition prescrite.
