  • METHOD FOR DESIGNING NON-ROUND SOFT CONTACT LENSES
    Publication number: 20130077045
    Abstract: A method for optimizing the performance in centration, rotation and stability of contact lenses makes use of the upper and lower eyelid geometries to maximize the lens-lid interaction for two different contact lens positions on the eye. The contact lenses are non-round lenses for maximum interaction with the eyelids.

  • Contact lenses and methods for their design
    Patent number: 7862169
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for designing contact lenses in which method the lens flexure is taken into account. The method of the invention is insensitive to the lens' back surface design and does not require complex back surface designs. Additionally, the lens design can be optimized virtually, eliminating the need for iterative design-test on-eye-re-design cycles.

  • Rotationally stabilized contact lenses
    Patent number: 7159979
    Abstract: The invention provides a lens in which the lens periphery is controlled as to each of thickness differential and both the rate of change from thinner to thicker regions and the shape of the transition from thinner to thicker regions within each of the dual thin zones. The lens of the invention substantially reduces the time for the lens' auto-positioning. Additionally, the lenses of the invention maintain their on-eye orientation better as compared to conventionally stabilized lenses.

  • Methods for reducing corneal staining in contact lens wearers
    Patent number: 7036930
    Abstract: The invention provides lenses in which peak pressure under the lens wearer's eyelids is reduced. The invention provides lens designs that reduce or eliminate mechanical chaffing of the cornea even in lenses made of high modulus materials.

  • Methods for designing multifocal ophthalmic lenses
    Patent number: 6520638
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for designing lenses useful for correcting presbyopia, lenses incorporating such designs and methods for producing these lenses. The lenses of the invention exhibit a better distribution of the distance and near vision powers within the multifocal zone and, thus, improved visual acuity and wearer satisfaction.

  • Dynamically stabilized contact lenses
    Patent number: 6491392
    Abstract: Stabilized contact lens are provided in which the stabilization zones are obtained by using spline or polynomials to describe one or more peripheral portions of a surface of the lens. The lens' stabilization zones are smoothly integrated into the lens providing a lens that is both effectively stabilized on the eye and comfortable for the lens wearer.
