Abstract

A displacement prevention coating agent is provided which can prevent a displacement in lens processing, which is soluble in water and which exhibits a transparent appearance at least after being cured. The displacement prevention coating agent may coat the front and rear surfaces of a lens so that when cutting processing is performed on an end surface of the lens, a holding position of the front and rear surfaces of the lens held by a chuck device is prevented from being displaced. A water-repellent coat layer may be formed as a membrane such that the end surface has a shape corresponding to a frame. The displacement prevention coating agent may be formed of an aqueous solution whose main components are a hydrophilic resin, a surfactant having a perfluoro group and an emulsion.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a deviation-preventing coating material with which it is possible to prevent deviations when machining lenses, which is water-soluble, and which exhibits a transparent appearance, at least after curing. [Solution] Provided is a deviation-preventing coating material which is coated onto the front and rear surfaces of a lens to prevent deviations in holding position on the front and rear surfaces of a lens which is held by a chuck device when machining the edge of a lens on which a water repellent coating layer has been formed, for example, to obtain a shape that conforms to a frame. The coating material comprises an aqueous solution having, as the main components thereof, a hydrophilic resin, a surfactant having a perfluoro group, and an emulsion. The coating material exhibits a transparent appearance at least after film formation. By using such a deviation-preventing coating material, when holding the front and rear surfaces of a lens onto which a water-repellent coating layer has been formed, for example, by holding the lens with a chuck device by adhesive tape, when machining this lens there is a reduced likelihood of deviations in holding position of the lens caused by the adhesive tape.

Abstract

In an optical component obtained by forming an optical multilayer film (13) on a surface of a substrate (11) by vapor deposition, a material of a high refractive index layer in the optical multilayer film (13) is made of niobium-containing titanium suboxide, whereby a thin film formed by vapor deposition of the niobium-containing titanium suboxide can be made to have improved conductivity though being in an amorphous state. This makes it possible to achieve high antistatic performance, without performing reheating treatment for increasing crystallinity for the purpose of increasing the conductivity, and without redesigning vapor deposition equipment for handling three types of materials.

Abstract

Disclosed are: a method for producing a plastic lens that has a high-performance antistatic anti-reflection film wherein two layers, namely a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer, can be easily affixed at the same time; and a plastic lens which is produced by the production method. Specifically, a first coating liquid, which is obtained by dispersing, as fine conductive metal oxide particles, fine ZnO·Sb2O5 particles and fine complex oxide particles mainly composed of SnO2 in a volatile solvent (for example, in isopropyl alcohol), is applied over the surface of a plastic optical base that is provided with a hard coat layer, and the volatile solvent is volatilized without being heated, thereby forming a high refractive index layer. A second coating liquid, which is mainly composed of an organosilicon compound wherein fine hollow silica particles that have an average particle diameter not smaller than the average particle diameter of the fine ZnO·Sb2O5 particles are dispersed, is applied onto the thus-formed high refractive index layer by a spin coating method, and a low refractive index layer is formed on top of the high refractive index layer by heating.

Abstract

A plurality of to-be-evaluated lenses that differ in lens surface design from one another is prepared in an evaluation-value calculating step. Thereafter, a subject's predetermined biological information, e.g., brain waves, is measured for each of the to-be-evaluated lenses by allowing the subject to wear each of the lenses, and an evaluation value for each of the lenses is calculated relative to a predetermined index in the brain waves, for example, relative to a “state of being under stress.” Thereafter, a correlation between the calculated evaluation value and a lens surface shape is calculated as an index characteristic in a lens-surface-shape determining step. Thereafter, a lens surface shape of a suitable spectacle lens in the index is determined based on the index characteristic, and the lens surface shape is fed back as a shape of a to-be-evaluated lens of the evaluation-value calculating step.

Abstract

A method for manufacturing an externally circular precursor lens that is processed into a rim-shaped lens includes inputting processing data to specify the shape of the rim-shaped lens, and processing a material block based on the processing data so as to manufacture a precursor lens. An elliptical virtual rim surrounding the precursor lens manufactured at that time is imaginarily set, and is processed based on the processing data up to that range, and, outside the virtual rim, an amount of sag is changed to secure the edge thickness of the precursor lens. This method for manufacturing a precursor lens for a rim-shaped lens reduces an excessive load imposed on a processing tool during processing, allows the precursor lens to be processed into a rim-shaped lens while satisfactorily maintaining its edge thickness without the lack of the edge of the precursor lens, and results in a thin lens.
