Patent number: 10371964Abstract: A contact lens product includes a multifocal contact lens and a buffer solution. The multifocal contact lens is immersed in the buffer solution. The multifocal contact lens includes a central region and at least one annular region. The annular region concentrically surrounds the central region, and a diopter of the annular region is different from a diopter of the central region. The multifocal contact lens is made of silicone hydrogel or hydrogel. The annular region closest to a periphery of the multifocal contact lens is a first annular region.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: LARGAN MEDICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: En-Ping Lin, Wei-Yuan Chen, Chun-Hung Teng

Patent number: 9733492Abstract: A set of eyeglass lens semifinished products is provided and is composed of at least three series of eyeglass lens semifinished products having spherical or rotationally symmetric aspherical front surfaces. The series of eyeglass lens semifinished products differ in pairs in the base material of the series. Each of the series includes at least three types of eyeglass lens semifinished products which differ in pairs and the front surface shapes. The front surface shapes of the at least three types are identical on a central partial surface within the actual surface refractive power range of the front surface of the series in relation to a standard index of refraction of 1.53 between 3.2 D and 6.7 D.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Carl Zeiss Vision International GmbHInventors: Georg Michels, Timo Kratzer, Gerd Nowak

Patent number: 9482884Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining an ophthalmic lens. In one implementation, three-dimensional coordinates of a center of rotation of the wearer's eye measured on the wearer in binocular vision are received. At least one direction of gaze measured in a natural posture and a determined position of the ophthalmic lens are received. Characteristics of the ophthalmic lens are calculated by using the coordinates measured for the center of rotation of the eye, the determined position of the lens, and the at least one direction of gaze measured in a natural posture. The characteristics of the ophthalmic lens are calculated by positioning a starting ophthalmic lens in the determined position and modifying the starting ophthalmic lens by wavefront analysis and/or optimizing using ray tracing dependent on the coordinates measured for the center of rotation of the eye and the determined position of the lens.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2010Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: ESSILOR INTERNATIONAL (COMPAGNIE GÉNÉRALE D'OPTIQUE)Inventors: Jean-Pierre Chauveau, Frederic Dubois, Cyril Guilloux, Melanie Tessieres, Helene De Rossi

Patent number: 9039173Abstract: The invention is directed to a colored contact lens designed for making a wearer's eyes to appear larger, bolder, and enhanced color while giving the wearer's eyes a very natural appearance. A colored contact lens of the invention comprising a first print of a first color and a second print of a second color, wherein the first print consisting of an annular ring of gradient dot matrix, wherein the second print comprises a limbal ring and an outer starburst pattern, wherein the limbal ring surrounds the outer starburst pattern, wherein the annular ring and the limbal ring have a substantially identical outer diameter and the annular ring has a larger inside diameter than the limbal ring, the first color and the second color are different or the same, wherein the first print and the second print are concentric with the center of contact lens.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Robert Carey Tucker, Ellen A. Day, Sandra Corti, Roland Schmieder, Laura A. Creech

Publication number: 20140268035Abstract: This invention describes Ophthalmic Devices with media inserts that have photonic elements upon or within them. In some embodiments passive ophthalmic devices of various kinds may be formed. Methods and devices for active ophthalmic devices based on photonic based projection systems may also be formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.Inventors: Randall B. Pugh, Frederick A. Flitsch

Publication number: 20140118681Abstract: A process for making a temporary photochromic patch for an ophthalmic lens. A photochromic dye is dissolved in either a siloxane base or curing agent. The base and curing agent are combined to initiate a polymerization reaction that will result in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer matrix having sufficiently low molecular weight to accommodate the photochromic dye's mobility. The polymerization reaction is completed in a form to create a viscoelastic patch. The resulting patch can be trimmed and temporarily applied to an ophthalmic lens without needing adhesive.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2011Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: Essilor International (Compagnie Generale d'Optique)Inventors: Hao Wen Chiu, Matthew James Lockwood

Patent number: 8708495Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting vision in macular degeneration patients. Following a diagnostic procedure which has been successfully tested to determine the factors needed to correct the vision of a patient with macular degeneration, the present invention describes a prototype correcting procedure and device using a computer program and display device. Through manipulation of a grid and quantitative analysis of the manipulations, the extent and correction factors needed to correct the vision of a macular degeneration patient are discussed.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: The Regents fo the University of CaliforniaInventors: Walter Kohn, James A.
