  • Patent number: 11454823
    Abstract: Ophthalmic lenses are described herein. An example ophthalmic lens may comprise a first surface. The example ophthalmic lens may comprise a second surface disposed opposite the first surface and defining a volume of lens material therebetween. The ophthalmic lens may exhibit a first cylinder power. A difference of the volume of lens material of the ophthalmic lens and a volume of lens material of a comparative lens may be minimized. The comparative lens may consist essentially of the same lens material as the ophthalmic lens and exhibit a second cylinder power different from the first cylinder power.

  • Patent number: 11209670
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a new soft contact lens with edge to edge photochromic material where geometry of the optical region and the peripheral region of the lens are optimized to give the best cosmetic effect on eye. The vision correction component and the mechanical component of that soft contact lens are designed independently from each other. The design of each component, vision and mechanical, is achieved by the mean of using diffractive optics.

  • Patent number: 10379380
    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.

  • Patent number: 10379381
    Abstract: An optimized contact lens design and method which leverages the strain energy of the system when placed on eye that improves centration, translation, and stabilization characteristics, or any combination thereof, in order to improve both comfort and vision. A contact lens design and methodology wherein the lens-eye resulting strain energy is optimized to achieve the desired function be it centration, translation, or stabilization. Since the lens strain energy is directly driven by the amount of lens deformation, it is possible to control the lens strain energy through the modulus of the material, design of the lens geometry, namely the radii or curvature, peripheral thickness profiles, edge or rim shapes. The surface pressure and/or lens strain energy can be optimized for a given population by averaging the ocular eye shape/surface. Alternatively the lens strain energy can be optimized for a single given eye (i.e., custom design).
