摘要:
In exemplary embodiments, this invention comprises a method for communicating the geometry of a contact lens to a manufacturer. The method includes describing the shape of a first zone of a contact lens and describing the shape of a second zone of the contact lens by providing an angle of orientation from a reference point located on the first zone. The method may further include describing the shape of one or more additional zones by providing angles of orientation from a reference point on another zone.

A method includes molding a lens, the lens including a front portion and a rear portion and an intermediate portion therebetween, the rear portion adapted to be disposed in the direction of the back of the eye, the front portion adapted to be disposed in the direction of the front of an eye, wherein molding the lens includes disposing conductive parallel nanofilaments on or within the lens. A molded contact lens includes a rear portion adapted to be disposed in the direction of the back of the eye, and a front portion that is adapted to be disposed in the direction of the front of the eye. The molded lens includes conductive parallel nanofilaments located on or within a central region of the molded lens.

The present invention provides methods for measuring corneal characteristics and distortions to determine one or more appropriate designs for one or more corrective lenses used to reshape the cornea of an eye. The method includes measuring and/or mapping the topology of the cornea, identifying a desired new shape for the cornea, comparing the current shape of the cornea to the desired shape, and configuring one or more corrective lenses to apply force to the cornea to change its shape. The process of measuring and/or mapping, comparing, and configuring may be repeated until the cornea takes on the desired shape.

The invention is directed to a contact lens design and methods of manufacturing, fitting and using such lenses. The contact lens may be designed for use in a corneal refractive therapy (CRT) program. The lens provides a design which allows proper fitting of a patient, whether for corrective contact lenses or for a CRT program. Due to the rational design of the lenses according to the present invention, a minimal number of lens parameter increments can be identified to cover the range of common corneas. It is therefore possible to provide pre-formed lens buttons or blanks which are easily formed into a final design, thereby simplifying and speeding up the treatment process. Further, any adjustment of the lens design which may be required based upon trial fitting or the like, is easily envisioned and implemented by the fitter.

The present invention is directed to a contact lens design and methods of manufacturing, fitting and using such lenses. As an example, the contact lens may be designed to be used in an orthokeratology treatment program. The contact lens according to the invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art, and provides a design which allows proper fitting of a patient, whether for corrective contact lenses or for use in an orthokeratology treatment program. The ability to properly fit a patient will alleviate, at least to a great degree, corneal abrasions from poorly distributed bearing, corneal warpage from decentered lenses, edema from tight fitting lenses and discomfort. The design allows a great deal of flexibility to the fitter to enhance the functionality of the lens. The lens of the present invention includes a central zone and first annular zone located adjacent to and concentrically around the central zone. The two zones are integral with each other and the radius of curvature of the first annular or connecting zone is greater than that of the central zone. In addition, such a design provides a vast amount of alternative methods of manufacture, and lifts the constraint of requiring the origin of the radius of curvature for the first annular zone curve to reside on the central axis of the central base curve or zone.

The present invention includes systems and methods for improving vision by reshaping the cornea of an eye. The systems and methods include two or more contact lenses configured to be at least temporarily worn on the cornea at the same time, and to exert force on the cornea to change its shape. After the shape of the cornea has been appropriately changed, a contact lens with the appropriate configuration may be worn as needed to maintain the new shape of the cornea.

A low pair count high performance, TIA/EIA 568 Category 5 plenum rated cable has a core made up of a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors, each conductor being insulated with a tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene copolymer material, and a single twisted pair of conductors wherein each conductor is insulated with a high density polyethylene material. The core is surrounded and enclosed in a jacket of a plasticized copolymer of ethylene and clorotriflouoroethylene material.
