  • Truncated translating contact lens with optimized performance and method of design
    Patent number: 10151935
    Abstract: Translating contact lenses which are truncated for correcting presbyopia and whose design is optimized to maximize translation ability while maintaining comfort when the lens is worn on eye. Truncation of the lenses results in a non-round geometry while still retaining under-lid residency in select portions of the lens itself. Maximum thickness and back surface radius of curvature along with ramp shape can be optimized individually or in combination to maximize translation of the lens relative to the eye, when the lens is positioned on eye.

  • Rotationally stabilized contact lens with improved comfort and method of optimization
    Patent number: 9778487
    Abstract: The invention provides an improved rotationally stabilized contact lens design and method of designing such a lens which minimizes stabilization time of the lens while maximizing the lens on-eye comfort. The lens and the method of designing the lens utilizes and combines non-circularity and thickness differential aspects resulting in equivalent or minimized stabilization time, ease of insertion and manufacturability as well as maximum comfort that is improved over that of what either aspect can achieve independently.

  • COMFORT-OPTIMIZED CONTACT LENS SYSTEM FOR NON-ROTATIONALLY SYMMETRIC EYE ABERRATION
    Publication number: 20160363782
    Abstract: A system of contact lenses includes at least two contact lenses, each lens having a visual correction for a non-rotationally symmetric eye aberration. Each lens has a different level or degree of a stabilization that is characterized by a thickness differential between a thickness of a stabilization zone and a thickness of a non-stabilization zone.

  • Contact lenses with improved oxygen transmission
    Patent number: 9389434
    Abstract: Contact lenses may be designed with locally thinned regions to increase oxygen transmissibility to the eye. The locally thinned regions are preferably positioned outside of the optic zone and in the thicker peripheral zone. For a contact lens formed from a specific material, creating local thinner regions, for example, dimples in the back curve surface of the lens, provides an effective and efficient means for increasing oxygen diffusion.

  • Reduced-tilt back plastic feature for a contact lens mold
    Patent number: 9283718
    Abstract: A mold assembly for manufacturing ophthalmic lenses which comprises an anti-tilt feature that prevent relative movement of one half of the mold assembly relative to the other half of the mold assembly. The anti-tilt feature ensures that the edges of the ophthalmic lenses are symmetric around their periphery.

  • Fractal features for enhanced tear exchange
    Patent number: 9091865
    Abstract: Feature patterns may be incorporated into the peripheral region of the back curve surface of contact lenses in order to increase tear exchange between the contact lens and the cornea. The feature patterns may be based upon fractal geometry and be incorporated anywhere in the periphery of the lens. The placement feature patterns are preferably determined utilizing a combination of simulations and experimentation.
