Abstract:
A computer based method for determining a transmitting optical lens sizing and prescription data comprising:(a) representing an optical lens object onto an optical lens representation template; (b) scanning said represented optical lens object with a computer scanning device; (c) storing said scanned image within a computer readable memory or file structure; (d) executing a first software means which retrieves said stored image of said represented optical lens object; (e) derives the radial shape of said optical lens object from said retrieved image; (f) derives the size of said derived radial shape of said optical lens object from said scanned image; (g) derives aid optical lens object center coordinates from said scanned image; (h) derives a starting radian of said optical lens object center coordinates from said scanned image; (i) centers said retrieved scanned image; (j) smooths said derived radial shape; (k) identifies and retrieves patient related information from scanned image; and (l) transmits said derived optical lens object radial shape, size center and patent related information from a client central processing unit to a server central processing unit.
