  • Patent number: 11412924
    Abstract: Devices and methods for measuring high order aberrations from an eye are described. A method includes obtaining information indicating one or more aberrations of an eye, and obtaining information indicating one or more of a visual axis of the eye, a center of a pupil of the eye, and a corneal vertex of the eye. The information from the optical device is used to modify a design of a contact lens so that a combination of the eye and the modified contact lens has reduced high order aberrations. In some cases, information indicating the orientation of the contact lens positioned on the eye is also used. The optical device may include an aberrometer; a first light source for providing first light toward an eye; a lens assembly for collecting light from the eye; and a first image sensor for receiving light that has been transmitted through the lens assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220063182
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a contact lens by an additive fabrication process includes joining a first portion of the contact lens with a second portion of the contact lens and joining a third portion of the contact lens with at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the contact lens. A center of a correction region of the contact lens may be offset from a center of the contact lens. The first portion and the second portion may include a first material and a second material at different ratios. The first portion and the second portion of the contact lens may include a first material and a second material having different sizes.

  • Publication number: 20210181528
    Abstract: Devices and methods for correcting and compensating high order aberrations from an eye using light are described. A method includes providing a first light to a first region of an optical element, thereby modifying a refractive index profile in the first region of the optical element, while offsetting a center of the first region with respect to a center of the optical element. The refractive index profile is configured to compensate for an optical aberration of a subject's eye.

  • Patent number: 10052021
    Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs. The one or more programs include instructions for: initiating a first light source to emit first light; while the first light source emits the first light, receiving, at a first image sensor, a first image of light from the eye, transferred through the lens assembly and an array of lenses; initiating a second light source to emit second light; and, while the second light source emits the second light, receiving, at a second image sensor, a second image of light from the eye, transferred through the lens assembly. The first light emitted from the first light source is transferred toward an eye through a lens assembly. The second light emitted from the second light source is transferred toward the eye.

  • Publication number: 20180160899
    Abstract: Devices and methods for measuring a refractive value of an eye are described. A device includes a wavefront sensor that includes an infrared light source, an array of lenses, and an image sensor. The wavefront sensor is configured to transmit infrared light from the infrared light source toward the eye, transmit light reflected from the eye through the array of lenses, and collect, with the image sensor, an image of the light transmitted through the array of lenses. The wavefront sensor also includes a target, and a beam splitter configured to reflect visible light from the target toward the eye and transmit infrared light from the eye; or transmit the visible light from the target toward the eye and reflect the infrared light from the eye. The target is positioned away from a conjugate focal plane.
