摘要:
A contact lens having one or more fiducial marks that allow the measurement of lens rotation and centration. The lens may be a trial lens. The lenses can be used to apply correction factors for sphero-cylindrical refractive error, higher order aberrations, and corneal topography.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for designing ophthalmic lenses, and lenses produced by this method, which lenses corrects both low order and high order wavefront aberrations of the lens wearer's eyes.
摘要:
The present provides deformable molds and methods for manufacturing ophthalmic lenses using deformable molds. The molds of the invention may be used in the custom manufacture of ophthalmic lenses.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for designing lenses and lenses produced thereby in which method locally fitted Chebyshev polynomials are used to design one or more of the lens' surfaces.
摘要:
The invention provides multifocal ophthalmic lenses that have zones of more than one optical power, or focal length. The lenses correct for high order optical aberrations in more than one field of gaze.
摘要:
The invention provides lenses that have zones of more than one optical power, or focal length, and a smooth transition between the zones of differing power.
摘要:
The invention provides contact lenses designed to accommodate lens wearer's that may develop dry eye. The lenses of the invention are of a design that decreases or substantially eliminates the occurrence of dry eye in the lens wearer.
摘要:
A method for fitting and designing ophthalmic lenses that yields improved visual acuity and takes into account individual lens fitting characteristics is provided. More specifically, the method of the invention takes into account the materials properties of the lens by observing the print-through associated with the lens.
摘要:
An ophthalmic lens provides a cumulative ratio of distance to near focal length that is predominantly distance correction under high illumination, nearly evenly divided between distance and near correction under moderate illumination, and favoring again distance vision correction under low level illumination. The lens is specifically adjusted to match the patient's pupil size as a function of illumination level, in the preferred embodiment by applying pupil size parameters as a function of age. This lens has the properties of matching both the distribution of near and distance focal vision correction to the type of human activity typically undertaken in various illumination conditions, as well as matching particular lens dimensions to suit the size of the pupil as a function of illumination intensity.
摘要:
Combined multifocal toric lens designs are disclosed which combine a correction for astigmatism, either corneal or lenticular, with a correction for presbyopia. One of the front and back surfaces of the lens defines a toric surface for an astigmatic optical correction, and one of the front and back surfaces, which can be the same surface or the opposite surface, defines a multifocal surface for a presbyopic optical correction, to provide visual acuity for astigmatic presbyopes. Embodiments are disclosed wherein one surface of the lens design has a combined concentric annular ring, multifocal toric surface, and the other surface of the lens design has a spherical or aspherical surface. In other embodiments, one surface of the lens design has a toric surface for a toric correction, and the other surface of the lens design has a multifocal surface to provide a presbyopic correction, which may include concentric annular ring multifocal lens designs, or other presbyopic lens designs which contain more than one spherical or aspherical power such as aspheres, segments, progressive aspheres, diffractive, birefringent or other concentrics.
