    Inventors: Miguel Faria Ribeiro, Mark Jenkins Sanchez
  • Publication number: 20230190451
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for reducing adverse optical effects from diffractive profiles of such a lens. Exemplary ophthalmic lenses can include an optic including a diffractive profile including a transition zone having a parabolic shape.

  • Publication number: 20230172705
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for providing improved extended depth of focus lenses. Exemplary ophthalmic lenses can include an optic including a diffractive profile including multiple rings, with the rings having step heights corresponding to a desired performance of the optic and configured to reduce adverse optical effects of the diffractive profile.

  • Publication number: 20230011320
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for providing a range of vision. Chromatic aberrations may be reduced at near, distance, and intermediate vision.

  • Publication number: 20220354362
    Abstract: A ring halometer system configured to quantify dysphotopsias in a patient. The system includes a white screen and a first light source configured to emit a glare source from the white screen. The glare source is configured to form a veil of light visible to the patient when the glare source interacts with an optical surface of the eye of the patient. The system also includes a second light source configured to project a light ring with varying luminance concentric with the glare light source on the white screen, and a controller coupled to the second light source configured to adjust a size of the light ring. The system may also include an electronic device configured to determine a level of bothersomeness of the dysphotopsias experienced by the patient based on the size of the light ring.

  • Publication number: 20220287825
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing improved intraocular lenses (IOLs) and other refractive treatment modalities involve fabricating the IOL or developing the treatment based on a refractive profile. Exemplary techniques include obtaining a base wavefront power profile corresponding to a theoretical lens, adding a second wavefront profile defined by the combination of one or more zones described by a cosine function to obtain a final wavefront power profile, determining a refractive profile based on the final wavefront power profile, and fabricating the intraocular lens or determining the treatment based on the refractive profile.
