Abstract:
A method for determining the orientation of a contact lens ( 1 ) on a lens support ( 3 ) comprises the steps of: providing a contact lens ( 1 ) having a lens center ( 2 ) and a sagittal height (h), providing a lens support ( 3 ), arranging the contact lens ( 1 ) on the lens support ( 3 ), providing a camera system ( 40 ) having a depth of field ( 4 ) of less than the sagittal height (h), illuminating the contact lens ( 1 ) arranged on the lens support ( 3 ) with a light beam, focusing the camera system ( 40 ) to a set focus corresponding to the expected position of the lens center ( 2 ) of the properly oriented contact lens ( 1 ) arranged on the lens support ( 3 ) with the lens center ( 2 ) of the properly oriented contact lens ( 1 ) on the lens support ( 3 ) being within the depth of field ( 4 ) of the focused camera system ( 40 ), producing an image ( 10 ) of the contact lens ( 1 ), scanning the image ( 10 ) of the contact lens ( 1 ) in at least one image portion (S) of a predetermined size; determining the image defocus of the at least one image portion (S), determining the orientation of the contact lens ( 1 ) from the image ( 10 ) of the contact lens ( 1 ) by comparing the determined image defocus with a predetermined threshold (T).

Claim (Index 18):
The method according to claim  1 , wherein the step of providing a camera system ( 40 ) comprises providing a camera system ( 40 ) having a depth of field ( 4 ) of up to about 40% of the sagittal height (h).
