  • Patent number: 11874529
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to lens, methods of making, designing lens and/or methods using lens in which performance may be improved by providing one or more steps in the central portion of the optical zone and one or more steps in the peripheral portion of the optic zone. In some embodiments, such lens may be useful for correcting refractive error of an eye and/or for controlling eye growth.

  • Publication number: 20230194895
    Abstract: An ophthalmic lens system for reducing the risk of progression of a myopic eye by selectively maintaining, inducing or creating asymmetry of the peripheral retinal profile for the eye. A method for reducing the risk of progression of myopia comprising determining the magnitude of asymmetry of the on-axis/off-axis refractive error profile or eye length profile of the eye and providing an ophthalmic lens system that corrects for and provides acceptable on-axis vision and simultaneously controls the position of the off-axis refractive error profile or eye length profile such that resultant profile of the eye is asymmetric.

  • Publication number: 20220334409
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to contact lenses for use with eyes experiencing eye-length related disorders, like myopia. This invention relates to a contact lens for managing myopia of an eye; wherein the contact lens is configured with an optical zone defined substantially centred about its optical axis to provide substantially toric or astigmatic cues for the eye; and a non-optical peripheral carrier zone about the optical zone configured with a thickness profile that is substantially rotationally symmetric to further to provide temporally and spatially varying stop signals to decelerate, ameliorate, control, inhibit, or reduce the rate of myopia progression over time.

  • Publication number: 20220326545
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to contact lenses for use with eyes experiencing eye-length related disorders, like myopia. This invention relates to contact lens for managing myopia wherein the contact lens comprises of an optical zone about an optical axis and a non-optical peripheral carrier zone about the optical zone; wherein the optical zone is configured with a substantially single vision power profile providing correction for the eye, and a decentred second region configured with an astigmatic, or toric, or asymmetric power distribution, the second region located substantially away from the optical centre and configured to provide at least in part a regional conoid or interval of Sturm producing an optical stop signal for the eye; and wherein the non-optical peripheral carrier zone is configured with a thickness profile that is substantially rotationally symmetric to further provide a temporally and spatially varying stop signals to reduce myopia progression.

  • Patent number: 10670495
    Abstract: A method for assessing the similarity between a power profile of a manufactured optic device and a nominal power profile upon which the power profile of the manufactured optic device is based. The method comprises measuring the power profile of manufactured optic device, identifying a region of interest from the measured power profile of manufactured optic device, and applying an offset to the measured power profile to substantially minimize a statistical quantifier for quantifying the similarity between the nominal power profile and the offset measured power profile. The method further comprises comparing the offset and the statistical quantifier to predefined quality control metrics, determining whether the measured power profile meets the predefined quality control metrics based, at least in part on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20190219839
    Abstract: Contact lenses are described with a corneal remodelling effect. This corneal remodelling effect is one or both of broad-area corneal remodelling and localised remodelling. The contact lenses may also have a refractive power. The refractive power may vary across the lens and for myopia may have increased power centrally. The increased power may be provided over a lens area that has increased thickness due to localised remodelling.
