Abstract: This invention relates to methods and devices for designing customized contact lenses, by initially making dynamic wavefront sensor measurements through a trial contact lens that is fitted on an eye, and then calculating a WaveFront Guided (WFG) correction to be applied to the trial contact lens that reduces the RMS level of aberrations as much as practically possible. The output of the wavefront correction program is a customized lathe file that the manufacturer can use to make customized contact lenses on a lathe. The method works best for soft contact lenses and scleral lenses.

Abstract: An instrument includes: an aberrometer; a corneal topographer; an optical coherence tomographer; and a fixation target subsystem. The fixation target subsystem includes a fixation target and a Stokes cell disposed in an optical path between the fixation target and the eye, wherein the Stokes cell includes a first rotation stage having a first cylinder lens and a second rotation stage having a second cylinder lens, wherein; and a controller configured for controlling a rotation of the first rotation stage and the second rotation stage for correcting for an astigmatism of the eye.

Abstract: This invention relates to optical methods and optical systems for making both on-axis and wide-field, peripheral off-axis wavefront measurements of an eye; and for designing and manufacturing wavefront-guided customized contact lens useful for myopia control. The wide-field optical instrument can comprise either (1) a multi-axis optical configuration using multiple off-axis beamlets, or (2) an instrument comprising a rotatable scanning mirror that generates off-axis probe beams.
