Abstract
This optical device comprises an ophthalmic lens and a light source emitting in the deep red and near infrared region. The ophthalmic lens has front and rear faces coated with interferential coatings. The mean reflectance of the rear interferential coating is lower than or equal to 2.5% for wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to a predetermined maximum wavelength lower than or equal to 2500 nm, at an angle of incidence lower than or equal to 45°. At an angle of incidence lower than or equal to 45°, for wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to the predetermined maximum wavelength, the mean reflectance of the front interferential coating is either lower than or equal to 2.5% if the source is directed towards the front face of the ophthalmic lens, or higher than or equal to 25% if the source is directed towards the rear face of the ophthalmic lens.
