  • Patent number: 6811256
    Abstract: Contact lens designed to ameliorate undesired effects of ophthalmological procedures or trauma. In one embodiment, the lens includes a clear center for positioning over the center of a dilated pupil with a surrounding darkened zone to restrict the entry of light into pupil. In another embodiment, the lens includes a corrective anterior curvature and a zoned posterior curvature having a substantially flat central area and an adjacent zone of the same or shorter radius of curvature designed to align with a post-refractive cornea curvature to correct refractive light and to focus the light on the retina in unsuccessful refractive surgery and not collapse or wrinkle on the cornea.
