Ophthalmic lenses are described herein. An example ophthalmic lens may comprise a first surface. The example ophthalmic lens may comprise a second surface disposed opposite the first surface. The second surface may be configured to abut at least a portion of an eye of a wearer. The example ophthalmic lens may comprise a lens stabilization zone disposed adjacent the first surface. At least a contour of the lens stabilization zone may be configured to minimize a recovery time for the ophthalmic lens to orient to a resting position from a misaligned position.

A contact lens for application in practice of orthokeratology on an eye, including a curved shell having a concave surface and a convex surface. The concave surface includes a carrier zone and a back shaping zone, the back shaping zone having a first curvature and the carrier zone having at least one second curvature. The curved shell has a geometric center and the back shaping zone has a shaping zone center and the back shaping zone center is offset peripherally from the geometric center. The curved shell can have an overall diameter that approximates a corneal limbal diameter of the eye to which the contact lens is to be applied.

An ophthalmic lens comprises a main body having a toric surface and a spherical surface opposite the toric surface, the main body comprising an eyelid stabilization design structure having a thickness of less than 200 μm, wherein the spherical surface is configured to exhibit a lens spherical power, wherein the toric surface is configured to exhibit a lens cylindrical power that does not fully correct ocular cylindrical power due to astigmatism; and wherein the lens spherical power is configured such that the minimum circle of the ophthalmic lens is on or adjacent the retina of the eye of the wearer at a target angle of alignment.

The present invention, as described above and as further defined by the claims below, provides methods for forming an Ophthalmic Lens that encapsulates a Rigid Insert, wherein the Rigid Insert may be tailored to correct specific astigmatic characteristics of an eye and apparatus for implementing such methods, as well as Ophthalmic Lenses formed with the Rigid Inserts.

An ophthalmic device includes a rigid insert and an enclosure enveloping the rigid insert. The enclosure includes a cornea contact formed on a concave side of the enclosure. The cornea contact has a ring-shape that protrudes from the concave side of the enclosure and is disposed under at least a portion of the rigid insert. The ring-shape of the cornea contact includes a plurality of discontinuous sections. The plurality of channels are disposed on the concave side of the enclosure and each extend through a corresponding one of the discontinuous sections of the cornea contact.

Disclosed herein is a contact lens comprising a lenticular in a superior portion of the contact lens wherein the contact lens attaches to an upper eyelid of a wearer by the lenticular interacting with an upper tarsal plate of the upper eyelid of a wearer, said interaction allows the contact lens to translate upwards in downgaze and maintain rotational stability. In one aspect, the lenticular has a top surface, said top surface having a shape selected from the group consisting of flat, flat with rounded corners, concave, convex or tapered having a thicker portion closer to an edge of the contact lens, or combinations thereof. In another aspect, the lenticular is comprised of a plurality of lenticular sections. In yet another aspect, the lenticular is anatomically-shaped.
