The present disclosure relates to an ophthalmic lens with an extended depth of field including an optical unit that includes a first surface and a second surface both centered by an optical axis and opposite to each other. At least one of the first and second surfaces is defined by a superposition of a base sag profile and a feature sag profile and includes in sequence a first zone, a second zone, and a third zone along a radial direction away from the optical axis. The first zone is designed as a freeform surface zone, and the second zone is designed as a phase transition zone. The ophthalmic lens enables patients to acquire a continuous range of vision from intermediate to far distances and also optimizes their far vision without visual interference, such that the resulting far vision correction is equivalent to that of existing monofocal ophthalmic lenses.

A contact lens product includes a multifocal contact lens and a buffer solution. The multifocal contact lens includes a central region and at least one annular region. The annular region concentrically surrounds the central region. A diopter of the annular region is different from a diopter of the central region. The multifocal contact lens is immersed in the buffer solution, and the buffer solution includes a cycloplegic agent.

An implantable or wearable lens for ophthalmic use, having a front surface and a rear surface, wherein at least one surface of said front surface and rear surface has an aspherical refractive profile with circular or rotational symmetry, or with cylindrical or non-rotational symmetry, with respect to the optical axis, and having a geometric elevation z(r) defined by a series expansion of Forbes polynomials, wherein said refractive profile generates an enhancement of the wavefront W(r) emerging from the lens such as to extend the depth of field thereof progressively and continuously in a power range between −1.0 D and 4.0 D.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for providing a range of vision. Chromatic aberrations may be reduced at near, distance, and intermediate vision.

A diffractive multifocal lens is disclosed, comprising an optical element having at least one diffractive surface, the surface profile comprising a plurality of annular concentric zones. The optical thickness of the surface profile changes monotonically with radius within each zone, while a distinct step in optical thickness at the junction between adjacent zones defines a step height. The step heights for respective zones may differ from one zone to another periodically so as to tailor diffraction order efficiencies of the optical element, in one example of a trifocal lens, step heights alternate between two values, the even-numbered step heights being lower than the odd-numbered step heights. By plotting a topographical representation of the diffraction efficiencies resulting from such a surface profile, step heights may be optimized to direct a desired level of light power into the diffraction orders corresponding to near, intermediate, and distance vision, thereby optimizing the performance of the multifocal lens.

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.

Provided are an intraocular lens and a technique associated therewith, wherein an average value (exceeding 0 D) of base difference values within a first region from a lens center O to a position r1 of a first boundary is greater than 5 times an average value (exceeding 0 D) of base difference values within the first region from a lens center O of a virtual spherical lens having a base power at the lens center O to the position r1, a second region has a power resulting from adding one or more positive constant powers to a reference aspheric power, in a third region, the power is reduced so as to provide a negative longitudinal spherical aberration that cancels at least part of a positive longitudinal spherical aberration caused by a cornea, and a second step value is greater than a first step value.

Methods for treating presbyopia in a patient's eye involve inducing spherical aberration in a central area of the pupil. In embodiments, refractive properties of an eye are measured to obtain a baseline refractive correction. A lens for wearing on the eye is provided, or an optical device is implanted in the eye, or corneal tissue is removed to create spherical aberration or a distribution of spherical aberrations beyond the baseline refractive correction in the central area of the pupil. The central area of the pupil has a diameter of between 1.5 mm and 4.0 mm and has negligible spherical aberration without the treatment.

An apparatus, system and method including an ophthalmic lens having an optic with an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and an optical axis. The ophthalmic lens further includes a first region having a first optical power and a second region having a second optical power. The ophthalmic lens further includes a third region having an optical power that progresses from the first optical power to the second optical power. The progression may be uniform or non-uniform. Each of the first, second and progression optical power may include a base power and an optical add power. Each of the first, second and progression regions may provide a first focus, a second focus and a plurality of third foci, respectively.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs). Exemplary diffractive intraocular implants (IOLs) can include a diffractive profile having multiple diffractive zones. The diffractive zones can include a central zone that includes one or more echelettes and a peripheral zone beyond the central zone having one or more peripheral echelettes. The central diffractive zone can work in a higher diffractive order than a remainder of the diffractive profile. The combination of the central and peripheral zones and an optional intermediate zone provides a longer depth of focus than a diffractive profile defined just by a peripheral and/or optional intermediate zone.
