Abstract
A system, ophthalmic lens manufacturing equipment, and method for providing an ophthalmic lens. The method includes transmitting an order request of an ophthalmic lens from an ordering side to an ophthalmic lens calculator, the order request including at least prescription data of a wearer of the ophthalmic lens, generating an ophthalmic lens model from the order request, the ophthalmic lens model containing data related to the ophthalmic lens to be provided, the ophthalmic lens model data including geometrical data related to the ophthalmic lens, the geometrical data of the ophthalmic lens model being coded by using mathematical functions to define surfaces of the ophthalmic lens in a continuous way. The method further includes receiving the ophthalmic lens model and the order request at a management entity, and transmitting the ophthalmic lens model from the management entity to an ophthalmic lens manufacturing module.
