  • Publication number: 20200214829
    Abstract: Lenses and methods are provided for improving peripheral and/or central vision for patients who suffer from certain retinal conditions that reduce central vision or patients who have undergone cataract surgery. The lens is configured to improve vision by having an optic configured to focus light incident along a direction parallel to an optical axis at the fovea in order to produce a functional foveal image. The optic is configured to focus light incident on the patient's eye at an oblique angle with respect to the optical axis at a peripheral retinal location disposed at a distance from the fovea, the peripheral retinal location having an eccentricity between ?30 degrees and 30 degrees. The image quality at the peripheral retinal location is improved by reducing at least one optical aberration at the peripheral retinal location. The method for improving vision utilizes ocular measurements to iteratively adjust the shape factor of the lens to reduce peripheral refractive errors.

  • Publication number: 20190307554
    Abstract: A method of altering a refractive property of a crosslinked acrylic polymer material by irradiating the material with a high energy pulsed laser beam to change its refractive index. The method is used to alter the refractive property, and hence the optical power, of an implantable intraocular lens after implantation in the patient's eye. In some examples, the wavelength of the laser beam is in the far red and near IR range and the light is absorbed by the crosslinked acrylic polymer via two-photon absorption at high laser pulse energy. The method also includes designing laser beam scan patterns that compensate for effects of multiphone absorption such as a shift in the depth of the laser pulse absorption location, and compensate for effects caused by high laser pulse energy such as thermal lensing. The method can be used to form a Fresnel lens in the optical zone.

  • Publication number: 20180153683
    Abstract: An apparatus, system or method for providing an intraocular lens that reduces pupillary reflections. The apparatus or system may include a set of intraocular lenses configured to provide an optical power between about 5 Diopter and about 34 Diopter at a predefined increment there between, each lens having a shape factor configured such that the magnitude of intensity of light reflected from any intraocular lens is within two orders of magnitude of the intensity of light reflected from any other lens in the set. The method for designing an intraocular lens may include obtaining physical or optical characteristics of a patient's eye and then determining a shape factor of an intraocular lens by selecting a value for a radius of curvature of a surface of the intraocular lens to reduce a peak intensity of reflected ambient light over a range of clinical optical powers.
