This invention relates to optical methods and optical systems for making both on-axis and wide-field, peripheral off-axis wavefront measurements of an eye; and for designing and manufacturing wavefront-guided customized contact lens useful for myopia control. The wide-field optical instrument can comprise either (1) a multi-axis optical configuration using multiple off-axis beamlets, or (2) an instrument comprising a rotatable scanning mirror that generates off-axis probe beams.

This invention relates to methods and devices for designing customized contact lenses, by initially making dynamic wavefront sensor measurements through a trial contact lens that is fitted on an eye, and then calculating a WaveFront Guided (WFG) correction to be applied to the trial contact lens that reduces the RMS level of aberrations as much as practically possible. The output of the wavefront correction program is a customized lathe file that the manufacturer can use to make customized contact lenses on a lathe. The method works best for soft contact lenses and scleral lenses.

An automatic leveling system includes a platform, a leveling device provided on the platform, a loading tray provided on the leveling device, three reflecting devices provided on the loading tray, an image acquisition device provided above the loading tray, a height positioning device provided on an end of the image acquisition device facing the loading tray, a light source configured to emit light, and a controller coupled to the image acquisition device. The height positioning device processes light emitted by the light source into three paths of light to the three reflecting devices. The three reflecting devices reflect the three paths of light. The image acquisition device acquires the three paths of reflected light into a light signal. The controller detects deflection values of the loading tray according to the light signal and controls the leveling device to level the loading tray.
