摘要:
A non-round fluid lens assembly includes a non-round rigid lens and a flexible membrane attached to the non-round rigid lens, such that a cavity is formed between the non-round rigid lens and the flexible membrane. A reservoir in fluid communication with the cavity allows a fluid to be transferred into and out of the cavity so as to change the optical power of the fluid lens assembly. In an embodiment, a front surface of the non-round rigid lens is aspheric. Additionally or alternatively, a thickness of the flexible membrane may be contoured so that it changes shape in a spheric manner when fluid is transferred between the cavity and the reservoir.

A wrist implant requires minimal resection of the distal radius and preserves the sigmoid notch and articulation with the head of the distal ulna. The wrist implant generally includes a radius portion, a carpal portion and a carpal ball. The wrist implant includes a primary articulation and a secondary rotational articulation. The primary articulation occurs between the radius portion and the carpal ball. The secondary articulation occurs between the carpal ball and the carpal portion.

The invention provides methods for designing contact lenses that takes into account pupil size and vergence. The lenses of the invention augment the eye's accommodative gain and take advantage of the eye's residual accommodation amplitude.
摘要:
A method for designing ophthalmic lenses, including progressive addition lenses, and lenses produced by the method are provided. The method permits the direct correlation of an individual's subjective assessment of the lens' performance and the objective measure of lens performance relative to the individual. The method permits generation of lens designs based on the head and eye movement of the individual and the designing of customized lenses.

An apparatus for the automated production of ophthalmic lenses, particularly compound lenses having a plastic coating on a plastic lens is described. A mold, after rotational orientation, is placed in a gimbal assembly to provide for the proper tilt. This gimbal assembly forms part of a fixture attached to an indexing means which moves for complete assembly of a molding fixture and then moves the molding fixture through a chamber to cure the resin. A preform, after rotational orientation, is held, by a preform gripper placed above the mold, and with sufficient clearance between the mold and the preform to allow the correct resin thickness during the curing portion of the process. The fixture is also provided with members to firmly grip the preform gripper so as to maintain its orientation throughout the curing process.
摘要:
A pair of intraocular lenses for restoring visual function to a patient with central field loss. The pair of intraocular lenses includes a first lens for implantation into a first eye of the patient to provide vision of targets located at a distance greater than five feet from the first eye and a second lens for implantation into a second eye of the patient to provide vision of targets at a distance less than twelve inches from the second eye. The first and second lenses each include a prismatic wedge for shifting retinal images to a functional portion of a retina of each respective first and second eye.

Optical lens bodies and haptics therefore are prepared from polymeric materials wherein all surfaces of the materials are substantially biologically inert to occular tissue, all surfaces are substantially free of surface defects when viewed through a 10 power optical microscope, the materials have a contact angle with water of at least 85.degree., a contact angle with glycerol of least 75.degree. and a surface energy less than 30 erg/cm.sup.2.
摘要:
A multifocal lens useful as a contact lens or implantable as an intraocular lens which comprises at least 3 zones, the first zone comprising a polymer of a specified refractive index, the second zone comprising a polymer having the same repeating units as the polymer comprising the first zone and having a specified refractive index differing from the refractive index of the polymer comprising the first zone by not more than 0.1 units and by not less than 0.01 units and the third zone between the first and second zones comprising a polymer having the same repeating units as the polymers comprising the first and second zones and having a refractive index continuously variable between that of the polymer comprising the first zone and that of the polymer comprising the second zone, the at least three zones being transparent and having no discontinuities visible to the human eye between the zones.
摘要:
An intraocular lens is treated to form a modified passivated outer surface for reducing or eliminating biological reactions of inflammatory origin when the lens is implanted into an eye. The lens is formed from a conventional lens implant material, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is treated as required to create an outer surface region including a relatively high density of hydroxyl groups. This outer surface region is reacted with a selected fluorocarbon carried in a solution with a primer including bonding agents for bonding the fluorocarbon with respect to the hydroxyl groups, thereby creating a thin, substantially inert or passivated outer surface resistant to irritative reaction with tissue or cells when the lens is implanted into the eye.
