  • Light adjustable aberration conjugator
    Patent number: 7414714
    Abstract: A method of correcting aberrations in an optical system by applying a light adjustable aberration conjugator layer to a component of the system, determining the nature of the aberration, applying radiation to the conjugator layer such as to change the refraction and/or shape of the conjugator layer to compensate for the aberration, and locking in the desired optical property.
    Type: Grant

  • Delivery system for post-operative power adjustment of adjustable lens
    Patent number: 7105110
    Abstract: A method and instrument to irradiate a light adjustable lens, for example, inside a human eye, with an appropriate amount of radiation in an appropriate pattern by measuring aberrations in the system containing the lens; aligning a source of the modifying radiation so as to impinge the radiation onto the lens in a pattern that corresponds to the aberration; and controlling the quantity of the impinging radiation whereby to decrease the aberration. The quantity of the impinging radiation is controlled by controlling the intensity and duration of the irradiation. The pattern is controlled and monitored while the lens is irradiated.

  • Delivery system for post-operative power adjustment of adjustable lens
    Patent number: 6905641
    Abstract: A method and instrument to irradiate a light adjustable lens, for example, inside a human eye, with an appropriate amount of radiation in an appropriate intensity pattern by first measuring aberrations in the optical system containing the lens; aligning a source of the modifying radiation so as to impinge the radiation onto the lens in a pattern that will null the aberrations. The quantity of the impinging radiation is controlled by controlling the intensity and duration of the irradiation. The pattern is controlled and monitored while the lens is irradiated.
