Abstract
Abstract A lens meter has means for measuring the optical characteristics of a lens to be processed, means for inputting information of the outer periphery of the lens, means for inputting information of spectacle frame, and means for composite displaying the optical characteristics, the information of the outer periphery of the lens, and the information of the frame configuration. Therefore, the "YES" or "NO" judgment for processing the lens can be performed with ease and with correctness irrespective of the provision of a lens plate.
