Patent number: 11378819Abstract: An ophthalmic device includes a rigid insert and an enclosure enveloping the rigid insert. The enclosure includes a cornea contact formed on a concave side of the enclosure. The cornea contact has a ring-shape that protrudes from the concave side of the enclosure and is disposed under at least a portion of the rigid insert. The ring-shape of the cornea contact includes a plurality of discontinuous sections. The plurality of channels are disposed on the concave side of the enclosure and each extend through a corresponding one of the discontinuous sections of the cornea contact.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Daniel B.

Publication number: 20210321068Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a system and method for remote image projection. The system may comprise a compact optical system to provide remote projections of images. The system may comprise an image correction subsystem, an image motion and positioning subsystem, an image relay and deflection subsystem, a source image, a warped image, a remotely projected image. The method may comprise processing the source image with a dewarping algorithm. The image correction subsystem may comprise a source image, a dewarping algorithm. When the system comprises an intermediate image plane, the warped image may be configured to project on the target projection surface upon arrival to the intermediate image plane. The image relay and deflection subsystem may comprise passive mechanical relay optics to refine the remotely projected image and direct the remotely projected image to the target projection surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: James W. Haywood, James Daniel Riall, James E. Michalski, Russell T. Spaulding

Patent number: 8393733Abstract: The invention provides methods for designing contact lenses and contact lenses designed according to the method, which lenses provide an improved method for presbyopia correction compared to conventional lenses and methods. It is a discovery of the invention that improved performance and reduced design time can be obtained by using lens pairs that act synergistically to provide the lens wearer with good binocularity and consistent performance in near, intermediate and distance vision.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.Inventors: C. Benjamin Wooley, James W. Haywood, Ronald Clark, Thomas Karkkainen, Susan W. Neadle, Sheila B. Hickson-Curran

Patent number: 7688453Abstract: Modified MZ (Mach-Zender) interferometers preferably are utilized to analyze the transmitted, aspherical wavefront of an ophthalmic lens by mounting the lens in a cuvette having a rotatable carousel that can hold multiple lenses. Fresh, temperature controlled, saline solution is circulated about the lenses, and the cuvette is positioned in a vertical test arm of the interferometer configuration. Reverse raytracing preferably is utilized to remove aberrations induced into the wavefront as it is imaged from immediately behind the lens to the detector of the interferometer.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.Inventors: Gregory A. Williby, Russell T. Spaulding, Larry G. Jones, James W. Haywood, John Edward Greivenkamp, Jr.
