In a typical evaluation rule, an area within-0.5 of the astigmatism value is an effective area, and, for example, in fig. 8, an area within-0.5 of the astigmatism contour is a conforming area. The larger the area within the 0.5 astigmatism contour, which means the better the lens performance, the different grades can also be rated, the grade of the lens being evaluated on the basis of the area within the-0.5 astigmatism contour.

For example, a lens with a designed power of 2.0 in the far-field area, a designed power of 0 in the near-field area and an add of 2.0 is taken as an example in fig. 10, and the optical powers of the far-field and near-field test points in the diagram are determined to meet the design requirement, and then the lens is evaluated to be qualified.
In a specific embodiment of the present application, the evaluation method of the double-sided progressive addition lens is used to evaluate a lens having an outer surface (i.e., a lens front surface) with a radius of curvature of 228mm and an inner surface (i.e., a lens rear surface) with a progressive surface, and in this embodiment, a distance from the pupil center to the rear surface of the lens in the case of wearing glasses is set to 27mm and a pupil circumference radius of 2mm.

FIG. 9 is a graph of the power profile obtained by simulating the lens using a conventional surface shape method; FIG. 10 is a graph of power distribution obtained by simulation using the method for evaluating lenses using ray tracing provided by the present application. From fig. 7 to fig. 10, it can be seen that the simulation result based on the ray trace is similar to the simulation result obtained by the surface shape method, but has obvious differences: the application simulates a plurality of light ray starting points at the pupil circumference position and is closer to the actual condition of an object observed by eyes, so that the obtained astigmatism distribution can theoretically reflect the real visual effect of a user when using the lens.

The lens evaluation method provided by the application is applied to the lens design process, can directly evaluate the astigmatism and focal power conditions of each optical tracking position of the lens, is simple, can be fed back to the optimal design according to the evaluation result, can shorten the design period of the lens, and is convenient for industrial popularization and application.
