  • 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.

  • Contact lens with improved fitting characteristics
    Patent number: 8888277
    Abstract: A contact lens or pair of contact lenses may be designed such that the contact lens is circular or non-circular, planar or non planar, continuous or discontinuous, or any combination thereof to improve the fit of the contact lens on eye.

  • Method for designing non-round soft contact lenses
    Patent number: 8668331
    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.

  • Rotationally stabilized contact lenses and methods for their design
    Patent number: 8646908
    Abstract: The invention provides dual stabilization zones that interact with an individual's eyelids so that at least the upper eyelid strikes both stabilization zones of a lens at the same time. The stabilized lenses of the invention maintain their on-eye orientation better as compared to conventionally stabilized lenses.

  • 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.
