An eyelid margin wipe comprising chemical means for adjusting the temperature of the wipe relative to the ambient temperature. The wipe is particularly useful for treatment of disorders of the eyelid or eyelid margin such as meibomian gland dysfunction.

Eyelid margin wipes comprising chemical means for temperature adjustment

A multi-focal contact lens wherein the lens is manufactured at least partially from a responsive polymer gel.

Multifocal contact lenses manufactured from a responsive polymer gel

The invention provides a multifocal ophthalmic lens that both corrects for the wearer's refractive prescription and takes into account pupil size of a specific individual or of a population of individuals. The invention provides a lens having an optic zone having a substantially circular central zone containing over-refracted near vision power and a diameter of about 2.5 mm or less.

Pupil regulated multifocal contact lenses

The invention provides lenses that have zones of more than one optical power, or focal length, and a smooth transition between the zones of differing power.

Multifocal ophthalmic lenses and processes for their production

The invention provides contact lenses designed to accommodate lens wearer's that may develop dry eye. The lenses of the invention are of a design that decreases or substantially eliminates the occurrence of dry eye in the lens wearer.

Contact lens useful for avoiding dry eye

The invention provides a pair of multifocal lenses for the correction of presbyopia. The dominant eye lens has an optic zone with the distance optical power required and additional zones of either or both distance and near optical power. The non-dominant eye lens has an optic zone with the near optical power and additional zones of either or both near and distance optical power.

Multifocal ophthalmic lenses

A design family of contact lenses includes a central area utilized for distance vision, surrounded by multiple alternating annuli of near and distance optical powers, surrounded by a peripheral distance zone. The design can also be used in intraocular lenses (IOL). The distance optical power is constant across the design family of lenses, but the near optical power increases as a subject's presbyopia increases. The design family of contact lenses can be fitted to a patient in a standard fashion by fitting both eyes to the best distance visual acuity (VA), and obtaining near acuity from the near annuli. A modified monovision method fits the patient's dominant eye with a contact lens as described having the full prescription distance power and fitting the nondominant eye with a contact lens as described having a distance optical power between the full prescription distance optical power and the near optical power. Specifically, the nondominant eye is fitted with a contact lens as described but having a distance power between 50% and 100% of the range between the prescription near and distance optical powers, biased towards the distance optical power.

Contact lenses and method of fitting contact lenses

A pair of ophthalmic lenses both containing at least two optical powers, one for near vision and one for distance vision are described, both containing in the center portion of the lens the distance optical power. In the preferred embodiment, the remainder of the lens is comprised of annular portions made up of one or more optical zones to provide the desired combined, cumulative ratio of near and distance focal length areas at each pupil diameter. The distance portion located in the center is appropriately suited to the real world situation of requiring distance vision under high illumination situations.

Multifocal ophthalmic lens pair

An ophthalmic lens provides a cumulative ratio of distance to near focal length that is predominantly distance correction under high illumination, nearly evenly divided under moderate illumination, and favoring again distance vision correction under low level illumination. The lens is specifically adjusted to match the patient's pupil size as a function of illumination level, in the preferred embodiment by applying pupil size parameters as a function of age. This lens has the properties of matching both the distribution of near and distance focal vision correction to the type of human activity typically undertaken in various illumination conditions, as well as matching particular lens dimensions to suit the size of the pupil as a function of illumination intensity.
