摘要:
A resin is provided comprising a mixture of at least two polymerizable components, at least one photochromic additive, at least one additive and at least one polymerization initiator. The mixture of at least two polymerizable components is preferably selected from monofunctional, difunctional and multifunctional acrylates and methacrylates. The photochromic additive is preferably selected from spirooxazine additives and spiropyran additives. And the additive is preferably selected from antioxidants, radical scavengers and ultraviolet absorbers.
摘要:
The present invention relates to new methods of impregnating plastic substrates with photochromic additives. By impregnating the plastic substrate in multiple impregnation steps under varying conditions, the concentration profile of two or more photochromic additive within the plastic substrate can be independently controlled. Methods are also provided for the distribution of a photochromic additive in a high boiling solvent and for increasing the glass transition temperature of a partially cured polymeric resin.
摘要:
A method for making improved optical quality lenses is described which includes arranging a mold having a molding surface, a curable optical quality resin composition, and a plastic lens preform of optical quality material such that the resin composition is disposed between, and in contact with, the plastic lens preform and the mold; upon curing, the resin composition forms a cured plastic attached portion that is bonded to the plastic lens preform. The resin composition and plastic lens preform are selected such that the attached portion has a higher scratch resistance, a lower chromatic aberration, and/or a higher ease of edging than the lens preform.

Optical devices having a dynamic aperture and/or an apodization mask are provided. The aperture and/or mask may be provided by one or more electro-active elements, and may be used in an ophthalmic device that that is spaced apart from but in optical communication with an intraocular lens, a corneal inlay, a corneal onlay, or a spectacle lens that provide an optical power.

A sensor is provided to detect an accommodative trigger, particularly ion concentration. The sensor can send a signal to an optical component, which in turn can respond by changing optical power to focus on a near object.

摘要:
Aspects of the present invention provide progressive addition lenses (PALs) and techniques for designing PALs that result in improved visual performance for the wearer. PALs of the present invention can have vision zones with widths that are more in line with the actual or functional sizes used by wearers. PALs of the present invention can also introduce controlled amounts of unwanted astigmatism into one or more vision zones. By allowing vision zones to include manageable levels of astigmatism, the resulting PAL can avoid the harsh build-up of astigmatism typically found in conventional PALs at the periphery of the channel and viewing zones. Further, PALs of the present invention can be designed using a merit function to achieve an optimized iterative design that accounts for astigmatism vector orientation and not simply astigmatism magnitude as is the case with conventional PAL design.
摘要:
Aspects of the present invention provide a lens comprising a non-rotationally symmetric aspheric optical element, surface or feature and a rotationally symmetric aspheric optical element, surface or feature. The non-rotationally symmetric aspheric optical feature can be a progressive power region. The non-rotationally symmetric aspheric optical feature and rotationally symmetric aspheric optical feature can be in optical communication when located on different surfaces of a lens or can be collapsed to occupy a single surface of a lens. The non-rotationally symmetric aspheric optical feature and rotationally symmetric aspheric optical feature can each contribute to the add power of a lens. Distortion (e.g., astigmatism) of a lens of the present invention can be reduced (e.g., globally and/or locally) by optically combing the non-rotationally symmetric aspheric optical feature with the rotationally symmetric aspheric optical feature. Accordingly, the effective or useable vision zones of a lens of the present invention can be increased.
