Abstract: One embodiment of an ocular lens includes a lens body configured to contact an eye where the lens body has an optic zone shaped to direct central light towards a central focal point of a central region of a retina of the eye. At least one optic feature of the lens body has a characteristic that directs peripheral light off axis into the eye away from the central region of the retina. Another embodiment of an ocular lens has at least one isolated feature of the lens body that has a characteristic of directing peripheral light off axis into the eye away from the central region of the retina. Methods of making contact lenses include forming the features during the manufacturing process.

Abstract: A contact lens package includes a first package layer and a second package layer joined to the first package layer at an edge of the first package layer. The first package layer and the second package layer collectively define, at least in part, a cavity and a contact lens is disposed within the cavity. A visual trigger is depicted on either the first package layer or the second package layer, and the visual trigger is identifiable by a mobile device to be associated with an executable file.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and techniques for evaluating prescribed optical devices during use. A method can include matching a user profile with a prescribed optical device, matching the prescribed optical device with a plurality of members of a distribution system of the prescribed optical device, requesting information about the prescribed optical device through a user interface, receiving information in response to requesting the information, and sending feedback based on the received information to one of the members of the distribution system. One or more network devices can generate a user interface including information associated with the prescribed optical device and the user profile. The user interface can be adapted based on a primary or secondary user of the network device. The user interface can also be adapted as the user progresses in age, treatment schedule, and/or other factors that support evaluation of the prescribed optical device.

Abstract: An ocular lens may include a lens body including a first surface. The first surface may include a first zone including a plurality of friction reduction structures arranged in alignment with the movement of a user's upper eyelid during blinking. The first surface may also include a second zone including a plurality of friction reduction structures arranged in alignment with the movement of a user's lower eyelid during blinking.

Abstract: A system can include an aural computing system in communication with the ophthalmic device. In some embodiments, the aural computing system can include a wireless communication device in communication with the ophthalmic device. In some embodiments, the ophthalmic device comprises a contact lens, which can inserted into the user's eye. The wireless communication device can comprise wearable technology.

Abstract: A contact lens package includes a multi-layer laminate substrate and a cover sheet. The multi-layer laminate substrate includes a first polymer layer, a first metal layer and at least one pre-formed lens receiving portion that is sized to hold at least a portion of a contact lens. The cover sheet is removably secured to the substrate and configured to seal a contact lens within the at least one lens receiving portion. The substrate has sufficient structural integrity to maintain a shape of the lens receiving portion.

Abstract: A contact lens package includes a first package layer and a second package layer joined to the first package layer at an edge of the first package layer. The first package layer and the second package layer collectively define, at least in part, a cavity and a contact lens is disposed within the cavity. A visual trigger is depicted on either the first package layer or the second package layer, and the visual trigger is identifiable by a mobile device to be associated with an executable file.

Abstract: A contact lens package includes a first package layer, a second package layer, a lens receiving area defined between the first and second package layers, and first and second seal portions. The first seal portion extends around a first portion of the lens receiving area. The second seal portion extends around a second portion of the lens receiving area. The second seal portion has different sealing properties than the first seal portion. The first seal portion may include a releasable seal between the first and second package layers, and the second seal portion may include a permanent seal between the first and second package layers.

Abstract: One embodiment of a contact lens includes a lens body configured to fit directly on the surface of the eye and legible characters positioned on the lens body. Another embodiment of a contact lens comprises a lens body including polymeric material and a lens enhancing material (e.g., ink, silicone material, medicament material, and the like) encapsulated in the polymeric material. The lens enhancing material can be in the form of isolated sections distributed in the surrounding polymeric material. Methods of making contact lenses include forming a first lens layer including a first surface, forming a pattern on the first surface, and forming a second lens layer over the pattern.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a contact lens package containing a contact lens in a compressed state. In one exemplary embodiment, the overall internal depth of the package is less than the natural sagittal depth of the contact lens. Different single-use contact lens package shapes and configurations may be used. In some embodiments, a spring disc is included in the packages to help present the contact lens to the user when the package is opened. The contact lens packages may be adhered or clipped to a card or other carrier sheet, and may be housed in a number of different secondary packages.

Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting lenses includes an inspection system including an open cuvette, a communicatively coupled CT measurement device, and a user interface communicatively coupled to the inspection system. According to one embodiment, the lens inspection system provides a single instrument for inspecting the quality of a lens, thereby minimizing the transference of the lens from one inspection component to another.

The second seal portion together with the first seal portion complete a seal around the lens receiving area. The first seal portion defines an unsealed gap at a location around the lens receiving area, and the second seal portion closes the gap. The gap allows a flow of fluids after a formation of the first seal.
