The invention relates to cylindrical tunable fluidic lenses. The cylindrical optical power of the lenses may be continuously tuned within at least ±10 diopters, without inducing any significant spherical aberration, or any other significant aberrations. The lenses feature a geometry that produces minimal or no spherical defocus. These cylindrical tunable fluidic lenses could be used to induce and/or correct cylindrical optical aberrations in adaptive optical systems, particularly in ophthalmologic applications related to objective and automatic assessment of the refractive error of the eye, without the need of receiving feedback from the subjects.

A ophthalmic lens for inhibiting progression of myopia includes a central zone and an annular zone. The annular zone includes subsurface optical elements formed via laser-induced changes in refractive index of a material forming the annular zone. The subsurface optical elements are configured to modify distribution of light to the peripheral retina of a user so as to inhibit progression of myopia.

Systems, devices, apparatuses and methods for an active projection system that may be incorporated into spectacles, contact lenses or provided as an add-on layer to existing spectacles or lenses. The active projection system operates to generate a stimulus or stimuli for viewing by a person's eye. The stimulus or stimuli creates an image that is defocused in front of the person's retina and can assist in slowing or stopping the progression of myopia or other refractive errors in the person.

A spectacle lens includes a first volume element group containing a plurality of first volume elements. The plurality of first volume elements is made from a material with a first Abbe number in the form of grid points of a geometric grid. Further, the spectacle lens includes a second volume group containing a plurality of second volume elements, which form a second partial grid in the form of grid points of a geometric grid, the second volume elements being made of a second material having a second Abbe number, wherein the first Abbe number and the second Abbe number differ from each other.
