  • Publication number: 20240004221
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to ophthalmic devices such as ophthalmic lenses. An ophthalmic device may comprise an ophthalmic lens for at least one of slowing, retarding or preventing myopia progression. The ophthalmic lens may comprise a center zone with a negative power for myopic vision correction; and at least one treatment zone surrounding the center zone, the at least one treatment zone having a power profile comprising an ADD power, the at least one treatment zone having a surface shape comprising a portion of a generally toroidal shape, wherein the at least one treatment zone is arranged as to form a continuous surface with the center zone.

  • Publication number: 20210325694
    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.
