Inventors:

Peter Hones - Providence RI, US

Assignee:

Sperian Eye & Face Protection, Inc. - Smithfield RI

International Classification:

G02C 11/02

US Classification:

351 51, 351 44

Abstract:

The present invention relates generally to safety eyewear and more particularly to a safety eyewear that includes a coloration or tinting of an outer peripheral edge of the lens for indicating a performance characteristic of the safety eyewear or the lens and selected absorption of visible wavelengths of light. In one embodiment, the eyewear includes a VLT rated lens having a light visible tint or slight mist tint to provide ornamental coloration of the outer peripheral lens edge. The lens has a roughened or textured cut along an outer peripheral edge of the lens to diffract light. The outer peripheral lens edge is color coded according to a performance characteristic of the lens or the eyewear. In operation, the ornamental color of the outer peripheral edge of the lens is activated upon the diffraction of light along the roughed or texture outer peripheral edge of the lens while still meeting industry VLT requirements for a substantially clear lens.

Abstract:

This disclosure includes methods and systems for producing ophthalmic lenses. Some methods include identifying a plurality of zones within a spatial representation of a lens blank, selecting, for each of the zones, one or more parameters for producing the lens, and producing the lens by removing material from the lens blank according to the one or more parameters of each of the zones.
