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 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.

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.

An ophthalmic lens including an electro-active optical element including a substrate; a liquid crystalline material; and at least one first layer. The at least one first layer can include a layer of silicon oxide (SiOx) disposed between the liquid crystalline material and the substrate, and deposited onto a surface of the substrate at an oblique angle in reference to a plane normal to the mean surface of the substrate facing the liquid crystalline material.

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.

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.
摘要:
A progressive optic has an optical preform wherein the radius of curvature of the surface is altered by forming discrete spherical portions across the surface. A thin intermediate layer, having a different refractive index from the optical preform, is then cast over the formed optical preform surface. The optical preform having the thin intermediate layer is then cast with a resin superstrate layer which restores the curve of the optic. Each spherical section, defined by the spherical portions and corresponding portions of the outer surface of the superstrate layer, alters the spherical power of the adjacent spherical section by about 0.03 D to 0.05 D.
摘要:
A method for providing a contact lens for a patient. According to this method, an optical preform is selected, and a resting position of the optical preform on the patient's eye is determined. An optical feature is also located on a patient's eye. Then, a reference position is located on the surface of the optical preform coincident with the optical feature on the patients eye, when the optical preform is in the resting position. Finally, the optical modification is provided on the optical preform at a location based on the reference position on the optical preform, either by machining the preform itself or by machining a mold that is subsequently used to form the lens.
摘要:
Prismatic intraocular lenses are disclosed for restoring visual function to an eye having macular degeneration. The lenses each include a convex lens optic for receiving and focusing light rays, a prismatic wedge located posterior to the convex lens optic for receiving and directing light rays to a first portion of a retina of the eye, and means for in situ alteration of the optical characteristics of the intraocular lens to direct light rays to a second functional portion of the retina.
