Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to contact lenses having a space within the lens. In various embodiments, a contact lens comprises a posterior component having an anterior surface and an anterior component having a posterior surface. The posterior component and the anterior component can comprise various combinations of gas permeable and gas impermeable optical materials. A contact lens also comprises a space between the posterior surface and the anterior surface, with the space configured to permit diffusion of a gas from a perimeter of the space through the space and across the anterior surface of the posterior component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to therapeutic optical devices configured to provide corneal reshaping for correction of refractive errors of an eye, as well as a peripheral refractive effect on on-axis and/or off-axis light to provide regulation of refractive error development in the eye. Related methods for designing therapeutic optical devices and treatment of an eye with a multifunction therapeutic optical device are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to multicomponent optical devices having a space within the device. In various embodiments, an optical device comprises a first posterior component having an anterior surface, a posterior support component, and an anterior component having a posterior surface. An optical device can also comprise an anterior skirt. The first posterior component and the anterior skirt can comprise gas-permeable optical materials. An optical device also comprises a primary space between the posterior surface and the anterior surface, with the primary space configured to permit diffusion of a gas from a perimeter of the primary space through the space and across the anterior surface of the first posterior component. A method of forming a multicomponent optical device having a space is also provided.
