Lenses, devices, methods and systems for refractive error

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.

ANTI-PULFRICH MONOVISION OPHTHALMIC CORRECTION

Methods, systems, and ophthalmic devices are described for correcting a misperception of depth of a moving object. An example ophthalmic device may comprise a first lens having a first optical characteristic that increases a distance of a focal point of a first eye. The ophthalmic device may comprise a second lens having a second optical characteristic that decreases a distance of a focal point of a second eye. The second lens may have a third optical characteristic that reduces a misperception of a distance of an moving object.

MULTI-RING LENS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTENDED DEPTH OF FOCUS
20210286196 · 2021-09-16 ·

Systems and methods for providing enhanced image quality across a wide and extended range of foci encompass vision treatment techniques and ophthalmic lenses such as contact lenses and intraocular lenses (IOLs). Exemplary IOL optics can include an aspheric refractive profile imposed on a first or second lens surface, and a diffractive profile imposed on a first or second lens surface. The aspheric refractive profile can focus light toward a far focus. The diffractive profile can include a central zone that distributes a first percentage of light toward a far focus and a second percentage of light toward an intermediate focus. The diffractive profile can also include a peripheral zone, surrounding the central zone, which distributes a third percentage of light toward the far focus and a fourth percentage of light toward the intermediate focus.

Corneal implant (1) designed for correcting irregularities of the corneal curvature of a subject, the implant (1) having a generally dome-shaped structural body (2) configured to impose a regular curvature to the corneal portions designed to be in contact with the implant, wherein the structural body comprises an outer peripheral ring (10) and an inner reticular structure (20), wherein the inner reticular structure (20) comprises at least one first and one second series of beams (21, 22) intersecting each other, the beams (21) of the first series having a respective first end (31) connected to the outer peripheral ring (10), wherein the total area of void portions (24) within the meshes of the reticular structure (20) is between 50 and 99.9% of the surface area of the reticular structure (20).

Systems and methods for corneal transplants

Corneal transplant procedures may involve suturing an implant of healthy corneal tissue to a recipient cornea. The sutures may cause unwanted deformation of the corneal implant and the recipient cornea. A supporting structure may be embedded into the corneal implant to enhance the stability of the corneal implant and the recipient cornea and to reduce the likelihood of unwanted deformation when the corneal implant is sutured to the recipient cornea. According to one embodiment, a corneal implant includes donor corneal tissue extracted from a donor cornea. The donor corneal tissue includes an interior channel formed at a depth below an anterior surface. The corneal implant includes a supporting structure formed from non-tissue material and positioned in the channel.
