Abstract: Systems and methods for adding a functional layer to a lens having a plurality of microlenses for inhibition of ametropia. The lens may include defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) having a plurality of microlenses or lenslets producing refraction areas with different refraction forces. Injection molding may be utilized to add a functional layer to such a DIMS lens having a plurality of microlenses or lenslets. The functional layer may add a functional utility to the lens, including but not limited to photochromic functionality, polarization functionality, and the like.

Abstract: A patterned lens with abrasion resistance having a base layer hard coat and a top hard coat. The base layer hardcoat may be formed on a film or sheet and used in molding the patterned lens. The top hard coat may be applied after molding.

Abstract: A semi-finished ophthalmic lens for formation of a plurality of different finished ophthalmic lenses requiring reduced amounts of lens material to be removed for formation of the finished ophthalmic lenses and reduced rates of departure of a surfacing tool and methods of making same. Lens material is reduced by providing first and second surfaces that have different optical powers, the second optical surface having a second curve that approximates second optical surfaces of a plurality of finished ophthalmic lenses at coordinates at which lenses of the plurality of finished ophthalmic lenses have maximum thicknesses.

Abstract: An ophthalmic lens including an embedded functional wafer which is coated on one or both sides with a coating layer and methods for fabricating the same. The coating layer may provide adhesion between the functional wafer and the surrounding resin used to form the lens. The coating layer may also protect the functional wafer from degradation during fabrication, such as due to chemical attack or exposure to heat during thermoforming. The coating layer may be applied to a flat functional sheet and then subsequently formed into a curvature to match the lens, or the coating layer may be applied to an already-curved functional wafer. The coating layer may comprise various compositions known to provide adhesion, protection from heat, and/or protection from chemicals.
