A custom lens device is disclosed as a corrective lens created by a specialized 3D printer. Specifically, a qualified technician working with an ophthalmologist and/or an optometrist combine laboratory measurements of the retina and other eye surfaces, then combine that data with subjective input from the patient's correction to an Amsler grid, to create a custom lens that will un-distort vision which has been distorted (i.e., warped), due to undulations in the retina caused by a number of eye diseases, including, but not limited to, epiretinal membrane and macular degeneration.

Methods and systems for measuring the asymmetrical image quality or image features of an intraocular lens (IOL), design, refractive and diffractive designs, such as IOLs with Extended tolerance of astigmatic effects are provided by through-focus and meridian response. Measurements are taken at various focal plane and meridian positions to allow for determination of areas of better performance away from 0 meridian or the start position and meridian.

A method, system and apparatus for vision correction are disclosed. The method, system and apparatus include a toric intraocular element for correcting astigmatism and having a cylinder power, and a depth of focus extender coupled to the toric intraocular element, the depth of focus extender extending a depth of focus. The extended depth of focus may reduce sensitivity of the toric intraocular element to at least one of rotation and selected cylinder power.

A toric lens includes a first surface, a second surface, two first sector zones, and two second sector zones. The first surface and the second surface are opposite to each other. Each of the first sector zones has a first curvature on the first surface along a radial direction of the toric lens, and the first curvature is constant along an arc direction of the toric lens. The two second sector zones are alternately arranged with the two first sector zones. Each of the second sector zones has a second curvature on the first surface along the radial direction, and the second curvature is constant along the arc direction. The first curvature is steeper than the second curvature.

A method, system and apparatus for vision correction are disclosed. The method, system and apparatus include a toric intraocular element for correcting astigmatism and having a cylinder power, and a depth of focus extender coupled to the toric intraocular element, the depth of focus extender extending a depth of focus. The extended depth of focus may reduce sensitivity of the toric intraocular element to at least one of rotation and selected cylinder power.

To provide a method for determining a lens for spectacles or a lens for contact that achieves a trunk balance.

There are included step S6 of measuring a load balance or a posture of a subject to be measured, and steps S7 to S10 of determining a lens for spectacles or a lens for contact lenses on the basis of a result of the measurement of the load balance or the posture.

An IOL calculator is disclosed to determine the spherical equivalent (SE) and cylinder power for toric lenses and ophthalmic apparatuses having the extended band of operational meridian, such as the rotational extended tolerant toric intraocular lens. The IOL calculator may also be used for an extended rotational tolerant toric intraocular lens, an extended depth of field intraocular lens, an extended depth of field toric intraocular lens, an extended range of vision intraocular lens, and an extended range of vision toric intraocular lens.

The embodiments disclosed herein include improved toric lenses and other ophthalmic apparatuses (including, for example, contact lens, intraocular lenses (IOLs), and the like) and associated method for their design and use. The apparatus includes one or more optical zones, including an optical zone defined by a polynomial-based surface coincident at a plurality of meridians having distinct cylinder powers, wherein light incident to a given region of each of the plurality of meridians, and respective regions nearby, is directed to a given point of focus such that the regions nearby to the given region direct light to the given point of focus when the given meridian is rotationally offset from the given region, thereby establishing an extended band of operation, and wherein each of the plurality of meridians is uniformly arranged on the optical zone for a same given added power (in diopters) up to 1.0 D (diopters).

The embodiments disclosed herein include improved toric lenses and other ophthalmic apparatuses (including, for example, contact lens, intraocular lenses (IOLs), and the like) that includes a freeform-polynomial surface area that establishes a band of operational meridian for the apparatus to an intended correction meridian. The freeform-polynomial surface area is defined by a mathematical expression comprising a combination of one or more polynomial expressions (e.g., Chebyshev-based polynomial expression, Zernike-based polynomial expression, etc.) each having a distinct complex orders.

A decentered type contact lens including: an optical zone provided in a center part of the contact lens; a peripheral zone provided on an outer circumference of the optical zone; an optical center of the optical zone being set to deviate from a lens geometric center; and a circumferential direction alignment mechanism for setting a lens circumferential direction position in a worn state, the contact lens being characterized in that: a center-of-gravity deviation in relation to the lens geometric center is set for the peripheral zone, and a center-of-gravity position shift accompanying deviation of the optical center of the optical zone in relation to the lens geometric center is corrected by offset using the center-of-gravity deviation of the peripheral zone.
