ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing prescription eyeglass lenses through the assembly of modular lens components is disclosed. The lens components include single-vision spherocylindrical stock lenses having positive or negative power, prism wedges which have no spherical or cylindrical power, bifocal or multifocal lens buttons, and slab-off prism wedges. These components may be assembled in accordance with data provided by a central computer to produce a desired prescription lens. The components are precisely aligned by means of an assembler, and are laminated by suitable adhesives.
