  • Publication number: 20230111585
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating ophthalmic lens creation instructions are disclosed. The method includes obtaining an ophthalmic prescription and preparing lens creation instructions based on the ophthalmic prescription including determining a baseline lens design. The lens creation instructions are augmented to reduce myopia. The augmented lens creation instructions are created by determining a central region and a peripheral region in the baseline lens, computing a distortion pattern of bumps randomly located in the peripheral region of the lens such that the bumps have random sizes and random strengths, wherein the location, size and strength are created using probability distribution functions, and then computing a final back surface of the lens including incorporating the distortion pattern of bumps into the baseline lens. A lens created by this method is described herein. The method may be implemented on a computing device.

  • Patent number: 11609437
    Abstract: Configuring ophthalmic lenses that reduce oblique aberrations based on a wearer's accommodative demand values is disclosed. The accommodative demand values include A_(rel?) and A_(rel+) depend on object vergence L. The accommodative demand values are considered to and ensure no or reduced eye strain to the wearer. An improved merit function ?? is calculated based on the accommodative demand values. In the calculation, accommodative term A is a smooth and continuous function of both the object distance L and the spherical component of the power error. This ensures the accommodative demand values are well below maximum relative accommodations available to the wearer to prevent eye fatigue. The calculation may also include a smooth and continuous thresholding function ƒ that optimizes the merit function. The calculation may also include evaluation of the power error associated with various object vergencies for every direction of sight.

  • Patent number: 11520308
    Abstract: An improved method for configuring progressive ophthalmic lenses is disclosed. The method includes computing an improved merit function that modulates reduction of peripheral values of the mean sphere according to the prescription sphere. According to the method the amount of reduction of mean sphere of the lens peripheral regions is dependent on the prescription resulting from a modified merit function. As such, the reduction of peripheral mean sphere varies based on the prescription. According to the modified merit function and resulting improved merit function, the greater the hyperopia and/or presbyopia defined in a prescription, the smaller the reduction of the peripheral value of mean sphere. Accordingly, when the peripheral mean sphere reduction is relaxed, a near region is made wider.

  • Publication number: 20220118685
    Abstract: Systems and methods for lens creations are disclosed. The method includes initiating light transmission from a light source through a diffuser into a container holding resin and a substrate. The light transmission is performed according to an irradiation pattern wherein each point in the resin is illuminated by at least 10% of the diffuser. This causes a lens to be formed. To achieve this illumination, at least 15% of the diffuser receives light from the light source. Further, a diameter of the diffuser is greater than or equal to a diameter of the substrate. The system performing the methods includes a polymerization apparatus and may include a resin conditioning and reservoir apparatus, a metrology unit, a resin drainage apparatus and an optional postcuring apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220090983
    Abstract: Automatic visual inspection (AVI) systems and methods are disclosed for inspecting transmissive lenses using a plurality of camera poses to provide deflectometric measurements using fringe patterns from at least two points of view. Phase and/or modulation visibility values of the deflectometric measurements are measured for two sensitivities of the patterns taken through an inspection area of the lens from the points of view. Defects are detected based on the phase and/or modulation visibility values at a defect location as compared to at the local area. A defect type is classified to be prismatic, transmissive, lenslet or cosmetic based on the phase and/or modulation visibility values. The defect is localized on the front or back surface of the lens based on the phase and modulation visibility values, and a geometry of the lens orientation. The lens can be invalidated based on defect types, numbers, relative positions and locations.

  • Publication number: 20220071917
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to particles, including nanocapsules or other nanoentities, comprising a polymer such as polysialic acid. The particles are able to access the interior of the cells, and/or to procure the intracellular release of the associated drugs. In 5 one aspect, the present invention is directed to nanocapsules or other entities having an exterior or surface comprising a polymer such as polysialic acid. In some cases, targeting moieties such as Lyp-1 or tLyp-1 peptide are bonded to the polymer, e.g., using aminoalkyl (C1-C4) succinimide or other linkers. These may be created, for example, by reacting a carboxylate moiety on a polymer with an aminoalkyl maleimide (C1-C4) or an aminoalkyl 10 (C1-C4) methacrylamide, and reacting the resulting aminoalkyl (C1-C4) maleimide or the aminoalkyl (C1-C4) methacrylamide to a cysteine or other sulfur group.

  • Publication number: 20210076726
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nutraceutical formulation of blueberry extract, fish oil (omega-3 and omega-6), recombinant human lactoferrin, vitamin A and vitamin E, for human oral consumption. The invention belongs to the field of ophthalmology and has been developed as a coadjuvant for preserving the health of the precorneal film and of the eye surface. This formulation contains an extract of natural origin (Vaccinium myrtillus L) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; it also uses eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), omega-6, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), omega-3, obtained from fish oil and which, together with lactoferrin, vitamin A and vitamin E, improves tear quality, since these compounds have anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effects. This formulation has been designed as a coadjuvant for preserving the health of the precorneal film.
