Publication number: 20210018661Abstract: There is described a contact lens package containing a bowl for holding a contact lens. The bowl is sealed by a film engaging the bowl so as to hold a contact lens between said bowl and the film. A lens is placed in saline between the bowl and the film. Finally, there is contained a light management protective cover attached to the bowl. This controls the type of light which passes through said cover and onto said bowl. Typically, the cover is impervious to ultraviolet light.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Jay Swamy, Melissa DeFreitas, Scott Ansell, Rick Abrams, Victor Lust

Patent number: 9310628Abstract: The present invention provides for an optical assembly using two ultra-thin optical pieces/parts defining the outer bound of the assembly with a solid or liquid core and methods of forming said assembly. In particular, the present in invention discloses the handling and arrangements of said ultra-thin optical pieces to prevent deformation and loss of optical quality of said ultra-thin optical pieces. The ultra-thin optical pieces can be from 25-200 microns and their structural integrity can be preserved through uninterrupted support throughout the encapsulation of one or more fluids, e.g., a saline solution and an oil solution, which can be used to form a liquid meniscus lens. In some embodiments, interlocking features included in the ultra-thin optical parts can be included in order to help create the seal and/or provide structural support to the liquid lens assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.Inventors: Vincent H. Barre, Victor Lust
