Who We Support
Ray Tracing Lenses Options for Different Customer Needs
Select the appropriate ray tracing lenses design, material, treatment and finishing from the prescription, frame, intended use and destination-market requirements.
Single-vision prescription design evaluated with a supported ray-tracing model after RX, material, frame and fitting inputs are confirmed.
Ray-tracing-based prescription design paired with a compatible blue-filtering material or treatment after spectral and residual-color review.
Branded photochromic-compatible design with material, activation color, coating and program availability confirmed before order.
Supported ray-tracing design in a high-index substrate selected from the complete prescription, blank, thickness and frame requirements.
Prescription design combined with a compatible photochromic system and specified activated color, transmission and coating requirements.
Ray-tracing-based prescription option for compatible tints after color, transmission, material and coating review.
Ray Tracing Optical Simulation
Ray tracing numerically follows selected rays through defined optical surfaces and refractive media.
The model, gaze directions, objectives, constraints and assumptions must be identified; a simulation result is not automatically a clinical outcome or universal performance guarantee.
Prescription, Fitting and Frame Input Review
Complete RX data, monocular PD, fitting height, frame trace and supported position-of-wear parameters are reviewed before calculation.
Missing or inaccurate measurements cannot be corrected by ray tracing alone, and not every program accepts the same personalization inputs.
Finished Lens Power and Geometry Verification
Finished lenses are checked for the agreed power, prism, geometry, appearance, layout references and treatment requirements.
ISO 8980-1 covers applicable optical and geometrical requirements for uncut finished single-vision and multifocal lenses; ISO 8980-2 covers applicable power-variation lenses, while ISO 8980-3 addresses transmittance specifications and test methods.

Ray Tracing Lens Selection and Ordering Guide
Review OptoCalc ARTT multi-directional analysis, required position inputs, supported lens design and complete RX specification before ordering.
- Required Design Inputs
- Advanced Ray Tracing Technology
- Ordering Workflow
| Input group | Typical data | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Prescription | SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD and prism/base where prescribed | Defines ordered central powers and applicable design constraints |
| Fitting and frame | Monocular PD, fitting height, frame trace, wrap, vertex distance and pantoscopic tilt when supported | Positions the lens and viewing directions used by the selected model |
| Material and construction | Index, Abbe value, diameter, base curve, center/edge thickness and mounting type | Sets physical and optical constraints for optimization and production |
| Functional treatment | AR, blue filtering, photochromic option, tint and transmission target | Specified separately from the ray-tracing design method |
| Verification | Power, prism, geometry, markings, appearance and treatment criteria | Confirms the finished lens against the agreed order |
OptoCalc verified calculation reference: Advanced Ray Tracing Technology analyzes optical paths through the lens and eye model from multiple viewing directions before surface optimization.
The catalogue describes up to 6,400 analyzed visual angles for MD-optimized designs.
The method is used to address oblique astigmatism, peripheral blur and unstable lines of sight in supported lens programs.
The catalogue reports that certain MD-optimized cases can be up to 10% thinner and lighter than conventional products made from the same material.
Ray tracing requires complete design inputs and does not guarantee one fixed visual or thickness result for every prescription.
Ray tracing is a modeling method
Ray tracing numerically follows selected rays through an optical model. In spectacle-lens design it can be used to evaluate or optimize a surface under defined prescriptions, viewing directions, eye models and fitting assumptions.
The result depends on the model and objective
Performance depends on the selected design program, merit function, constraints, eye and frame assumptions and the accuracy of supplied data. The method does not automatically remove every aberration or guarantee identical clarity in every gaze direction.
Functional treatments remain separate
Anti-reflective performance, blue filtering, photochromic response, tint, scratch resistance and water repellency require compatible materials or treatments and their own verification criteria.
- Submit the complete prescription: SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD and prism/base where prescribed.
- Select the supported design program: single vision or progressive where available, together with the required ray-tracing or optimization option.
- Provide frame and fitting data: monocular PD, fitting height, frame trace and supported position-of-wear parameters.
- Confirm material and construction: index, diameter, blank availability, base curve, center/edge thickness and mounting type.
- Specify treatments separately: hard coat, AR, blue filtering, tint or photochromic option and transmission requirements.
- Verify the finished lenses: optical power, prism, geometry, markings, appearance and ordered treatment against the approved job.
It is a prescription lens designed or evaluated with an optical program that traces selected rays through a defined lens and eye model. The exact method and optimization objectives depend on the supplier and design program.
Aspheric describes surface geometry, while ray tracing describes a modeling method. A ray-tracing-based design may use spherical, aspheric, atoric or freeform surfaces depending on the product and objectives.
No. It can help evaluate and manage selected optical trade-offs under a defined model, but it cannot remove every aberration or guarantee identical clarity for every prescription, frame, gaze direction and wearer.
Yes, where supported by the selected design program. Progressive orders additionally require ADD, fitting height, monocular PD, frame trace and the program’s minimum fitting and corridor conditions.
Provide the complete RX, monocular PD, fitting height and frame data. Vertex distance, pantoscopic tilt and wrap angle are used only when the selected program supports those inputs and they are measured accurately.
Yes, where compatible. These are separate material or treatment specifications and require their own color, transmission, durability and coating-stack review.
No. Adaptation varies with the wearer, prescription, previous lenses, design, frame fit and fitting accuracy. No ray-tracing method should guarantee immediate or symptom-free adaptation.

Custom Ray Tracing Prescription Lenses
Heritage Optical Lab supplies supported prescription lens programs that use ray tracing within optical analysis or surface optimization. Product combinations can include single vision, progressive where available, blue-filtering, branded or generic photochromic, high-index and tinted options.
Optical modeling and optimization
Ray tracing follows selected rays through a defined optical model. Modern spectacle-lens design uses this method to analyze off-axis power error and oblique astigmatism or to optimize surface coordinates under specified objectives and constraints. It is a design method rather than a guarantee of perfect vision in every direction.
Data-supported personalization
Only parameters supported by the selected program and supplied accurately with the order can influence the result. These may include monocular PD, fitting height, frame trace, vertex distance, pantoscopic tilt and wrap angle. A generic label alone does not prove that every lens is fully personalized.
External layout markings
Blue removable external markings can identify optical or fitting references, alignment points and eye side during laboratory verification and dispensing. Permanent engravings and removable layout marks serve different identification functions.
Performance and treatment limits
Ray-tracing optimization can manage selected optical trade-offs but cannot eliminate every aberration, guarantee uniform edge-to-edge clarity, prevent visual symptoms or assure immediate adaptation. Coatings, blue filtering, photochromic response, tint and scratch resistance are separate specifications.
OEM and wholesale supply
For sampling and quotation, provide the RX range, design program, material/index, diameter, frame and fitting data, supported position-of-wear inputs, thickness targets, treatments, verification criteria, finishing method, quantity, packaging and destination market.
