  • Patent number: 12366767
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and/or methods for designing a system of contact lenses with interocular refractive disparity (i.e. anisometropia) for presbyopes. An example method may comprise a step of determining a plurality of lenses for inclusion in a system of contact lenses for treating presbyopes. Each of the plurality of lenses may be configured for an optical correction and may have a power profile associated therewith. The plurality of lenses may be grouped based on the optical correction. Each of the lenses in a particular group may have a different power profile. The example method may comprise a step of creating, based at least on the plurality of lenses and an add need, a fit guide. The fit guide may provide an interocular disparity of effective add. The interocular disparity of effective add may be determined by optimizing cyclopean performance across a range accommodative demands and light levels.

  • Publication number: 20070171361
    Abstract: The present invention provides multifocal lenses containing at least four zones of different refractive power. The zones are positioned such that the wearer is able to use the inferior-most portion of the lens to more clearly, as compared to conventional multifocal lenses, view objects at distances more than 45 cm from the eye.

  • Patent number: 5940152
    Abstract: A dual-Fresnel field lens liquid crystal display projection system which includes first and second flat Fresnel lenses having their faceted surfaces facing one another and positioned adjacent to one another along the optical axis of the system between a liquid crystal display light modulator and the entrance aperture to a projection lens assembly to form a field lens assembly for the projection system.
