  • Contact lens using indicia to aid fitting
    Patent number: 10901238
    Abstract: A contact lens comprising one or more anatomical locating indicia comprising a length delimiting or substantially delimiting a contact lens zone is disclosed. The intended location of the anatomical locating indicia may be over or substantially over an anatomical feature. When the lens fits correctly, the intended location of the one or more anatomical locating indicia is over or substantially over and delimiting or substantially delimiting the anatomical feature. The indicia may illustrate where a zone starts and stops.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021
    Assignee: KATT DESIGN GROUP LTD

  • Low-mass ophthalmic lens
    Patent number: 6520637
    Abstract: The disclosed ophthalmic lens includes a posterior surface and an anterior surface having a spherical central optical correction zone, an aspheric intermediate zone, and a peripheral zone. The intermediate and peripheral zones are not used for optical correction. The posterior surface includes a central optical zone, an intermediate zone, and a peripheral zone. The central optical zone of the anterior surface has a larger diameter than the central optical zone of the posterior surface. Similarly, the intermediate zone of the anterior surface has a larger diameter than the intermediate zone of the posterior surface. The inventive construction is particularly beneficial when applied to a rigid contact lens, particularly rigid contact lenses made using a high DK material.
