A wearable ophthalmic device is disclosed. The device may include a head-mounted light field display configured to generate a physical light field comprising a beam of light. The head-mounted light field display may direct the beam of light into a user's eye, thereby producing a retinal reflex. The device may also include a head-mounted photodetector array configured to receive the retinal reflex and to generate numerical image data. The device may also include a light field processor configured to control the light field display, to analyze the retinal reflex using the numerical image data, and to determine an optical prescription for the user's eye based on the analysis of the retinal reflex.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs). Embodiments may include a shift of a diffractive order.

A method includes receiving information representing a profile of a contact lens capable of compensating for lower order aberrations of an eye of a patient; accessing information representing higher order aberrations of the eye; generating information representing a profile of a contact lens capable of compensating for the lower order aberrations and the higher order aberrations of the eye based on the information representing the profile of the contact lens capable of compensating for the lower order aberrations of the eye and the information representing the higher order aberrations of the eye; and providing the information representing the profile of the contact lens capable of compensating for the lower order aberrations and the higher order aberrations of the eye, for fabrication of the contact lens capable of compensating for the lower order aberrations and the higher order aberrations of the eye.

The present disclosure is directed to lenses, devices, methods and/or systems for addressing refractive error. Certain embodiments are directed to changing or controlling the wavefront of the light entering a human eye. The lenses, devices, methods and/or systems can be used for correcting, addressing, mitigating or treating refractive errors and provide excellent vision at distances encompassing far to near without significant ghosting. The refractive error may for example arise from myopia, hyperopia, or presbyopia with or without astigmatism. Certain disclosed embodiments of lenses, devices and/or methods include embodiments that address foveal and/or peripheral vision. Exemplary of lenses in the fields of certain embodiments include contact lenses, corneal onlays, corneal inlays, and lenses for intraocular devices both anterior and posterior chamber, accommodating intraocular lenses, electro-active spectacle lenses and/or refractive surgery.

This computer-implemented method for providing a finished single vision ophthalmic lens intended for a wearer, from a target lens having at least one complex surface, the finished lens having a rotationally symmetrical front surface, includes: providing wearer data or theoretical data; defining targeted optical or geometrical characteristics along a predetermined path on the target lens, based on the wearer data or on the theoretical data; determining the finished lens by: selecting an initial lens complying with the prescription data and having a rotationally symmetrical front surface and a predetermined curvature at a prescription reference point; defining a current lens as the initial lens; modifying a front surface definition of the current lens to reach the targeted optical or geometrical characteristics until an ending criterion is met; providing the finished lens as the current lens.

Ophthalmic lenses include one or more annular sectors configured to provide one or more off-axis corrections to light incident on the peripheral retina to inhibit myopia progression. An ophthalmic lens includes a central zone and an annular zone that includes an annular sector configured to provide a myopia inhibiting wavefront correction to light from a peripheral vision region of a peripheral visual field of the use. The first annular sector is configured so that light from the peripheral vision region passes through the first annular sector to form an image of the peripheral vision region on an annular region of the peripheral retina. The myopia inhibiting wavefront correction reduces a circumferential-to-radial aspect ratio of the image of the first peripheral vision region.

A molded contact lens comprising a stiffer optic zone relative to the peripheral zone of the contact lens provides an optical element for correcting astigmatism without the need for or substantially minimizing the need for the correction of rotational misalignment. The higher elastic modulus optic zone vaults over the cornea thereby allowing a tear lens to form. The tear lens follows or assumes the shape of the back surface of the contact lens. The combination of the tear lens and the optical zone provide an optical element for correction of refractive error.

Spectacles that control myopia progression have a central zone that achieves foveal vision correction and distributed micro-reticle(s) and corresponding micro-lens(es) around the paracentral and/or peripheral zone of the spectacle. Each micro-lens is disposed between its corresponding micro-reticle and the pupil of a wearer's eye. The micro-reticle(s) and micro-len(s) are integrated with the structure of the spectacle to partially block some of the paracentral and/or peripheral objects from surrounding optical environment. The rest of the paracentral and/or peripheral retinal areas are still available for a wearer's eye to sense the presence and movement of surrounding objects.

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 contact lens with a plurality of marks for indicating a position of the contact lens and a rotation of the contact lens while the contact lens is positioned on an eye of a user is described. The plurality of marks includes at least one mark that is scribed on the contact lens. A method for making the contact lens and an optical device for use with the contact lens are also described.
