Abstract:
The present disclosure includes optical articles comprising a lens having first and second lens surfaces and a protective layer having first and second protective surfaces that is coupled to the lens such that the first protective surface is disposed on the second lens surface. The optical article can comprise a plurality of convex or concave optical elements defined on the second lens surface or the first protective surface. The protective layer can have a maximum thickness larger than a maximum height of each of the optical elements such that the protective layer encapsulates the optical elements.
Abstract:
An intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises an optical structure and a haptic structure. The optical structure comprises a planar member, a plano convex member, and a fluid optical element defined between the planar member and the plano convex member. The fluid optical element has an optical power. The haptic structure couples the planar member and the plano convex member together at a peripheral portion of the optical structure. The haptic structure comprises a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the fluid optical element and a peripheral structure for interfacing to the lens capsule. Shape changes of the lens capsule cause one or more of volume or shape changes to the fluid optical element in correspondence to deformations in the planar member to modify the optical power of the fluid optical element.
Abstract:
A lens structure includes an elastomer formed as a lens. The lens has a planar surface and a curved surface opposed to the planar surface. The elastomer of the lens structure may be formed of a base polymer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material. When the lens structure is applied proximate to a camera sensor array of an electronic device, such as a cell phone or a tablet, the combination can function as microscope. By altering parameters of the lens, such as the radius of curvature, it is possible to achieve a wide range of magnification.

An eyeglass of a 3D glasses, a fabrication method thereof and a 3D glasses are provided. The eyeglass of the 3D glasses comprises: a substrate (2), configured to have a 3D function; and a lens (1) having a converging or diverging function, laminated on the substrate. The eyeglass of the 3D glasses and the 3D glasses have a myopic or hyperopic function simultaneously.
Abstract:
Provided are a gradient index lens using the effective refractive index of a microstructure operating in the terahertz frequency regions and mid-infrared regions at wavelengths of 0.8 m to 3 mm and a method for manufacturing the same. Based on the effective medium theorem, the effective refractive index is controlled by using a structure smaller than the mid-infrared and terahertz wavelength, and a gradient can be provided for the refractive index in a radial direction and in an axial direction. Thus, beams in the mid-infrared and terahertz frequency region can be converged.
Abstract:
Lenses and methods for adjusting the focus of a lens include dividing multiple light sensors in a lens into four quadrants. A position of the lens relative to occlusion along a top and bottom edge of the lens is determined based on lengths of bit sequences from light sensors in each of the four quadrants. An optimal focal length for the lens is determined based on the position of the lens. The focal length of the lens is adjusted to match the optimal focal length.
Abstract:
An accommodating contact lens comprises a control device, which comprises one or more eyelid engagement structures. The eyelid engagement structures are configured to move with the eyelid relative to the contact lens. The eyelid engagement structure is coupled to the eyelid and to the accommodating contact lens, which may comprise a fluidic module having inner and outer fluid reservoirs. The eyelid engagement structure is configured to respond to the narrowing or widening of the eyelid fissure, moving a fluid in or out of the inner reservoir to accommodate near or far vision.
Abstract:
The present invention proposes a polymer composition of manufacturing ophthalmic lens by polymerization of polymerizable composition wherein the shrinkage phenomenon is minimized. The polymerizable composition comprised two different categories of monomers which are able during crosslinking to control and limit said chemical shrinkage. The present invention comprises also ophthalmic lens obtained from said polymer composition using a manufacturing process of casting or additive manufacturing.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a translating multifocal contact Lens including one or both of a lower-lid contact surface and an under-lid support structure. More specifically, a translating multifocal contact Lens whereby a lower-lid contact surface may include multiple geometric variations and Blend Zones, and an under-lid support structure that may be designed based upon one or more various techniques including one or more of a function-driven technique, a uniform axial thickness technique, a uniform radial thickness technique, and a MES technique.
Abstract:
There is provided a contact lens (60) which is produced by cast moulding. The cast moulding is achieved by the use of an anterior face mould insert (30) which has a cap (24) with a domed surface (26) and a body (10). The domed surface has provision for a distance vision segment (31) and a reading segment (32) separated by a demarcation (33). Further, the cap (24) has a cutaway portion (20) for producing a lower ledge and the body (10) has a projection (18) for producing a lower truncation in the resultant lens. Means is also described for forming a posterior face of the contact lens (60).
