    摘要: An ophthalmic lens includes a hybrid plano-convex refractive lens body having a convex portion and a planar portion. A metasurface array can be associated with the planar portion and include an arrangement of metasurface building elements dimensioned from an optical wavelength. The metasurface building elements can be configured across the lens body to define an optical characteristic of the ophthalmic lens. The arrangement of metasurface building elements can include meta-atoms that are configured to induce a polarization-dependent focusing of light received by the ophthalmic lens. A shape of the meta-atoms of the array can be determined based on a function of the ophthalmic lens, including glare/halo reduction. The meta-atoms can be formed as canonical and/or freeform shapes.

    摘要: One embodiment of a rigid gas permeable ocular lens may be formed by a process including forming a portion of a mold including a first side having a profile shaped to form an anterior surface of the rigid gas permeable ocular lens, applying a liquid lens material to the first side of the portion of the mold, and at least partially curing the liquid lens material to form the rigid gas permeable ocular lens. Methods of forming molds for rigid gas permeable ocular lenses, including molds for casting rigid gas permeable ocular lenses having a desired surface smoothness and desired dimensional tolerances are also provided.

    摘要: A contact lens case includes a platform portion. The platform portion can include a receiving body, an inner wall formed in the receiving body, a floor connected to the inner wall, the inner wall and the floor defining a chamber, and a lens positioning guide formed in the floor of the chamber.

    摘要: Ophthalmic lenses and methods of manufacture thereof are disclosed. The ophthalmic lenses include metasurface features that define a metasurface array on a lens body. The metasurface array can be tuned to modify an optical property, such as glare reduction, of the ophthalmic lens using an arrangement of metasurface building elements dimensioned from an optical wavelength, including being dimensioned smaller than an optical wavelength. The ophthalmic lenses can be subject to physical manipulation, including rolling or other folding during an installation procedure, and as such, the modified optical property induced by the metasurface array can be maintained after such manipulation. The ophthalmic lenses can be formed using a molding process, in which the metasurface array is associated with a non-solid material and formed into a lens shape with the material.
