The present disclosure is directed to contact lenses for the correcting a refractive error, particularly astigmatism, and other corneal irregularities. An exemplary lens comprises an inner portion, a peripheral portion, and a juncture therebetween. The inner portion provides optical correction for an eye. The peripheral portion conforms to a corneal surface of the eye. The juncture is a structurally flexible portion of the ophthalmic lens such that deformation of the peripheral portion in response to conforming to an astigmatism or higher order aberration of the corneal surface does not substantially deform the inner portion. When the lens is placed on the eye, the inner portion vaults over the corneal surface to form a lenticular volume. The optical correction is provided by a combination of the inner portion and the lenticular volume.

Astigmatism correcting contact lenses

Contact lenses for the treatment of a refractive error, particularly astigmatism, are provided. An exemplary lens comprises a soft continuous lens body configured to cover a corneal surface, the lens body having a posterior surface to be suspended over the corneal surface forming a free volume thereover, and at least one discrete discontinuity. The free volume may be configured to fill with tear fluid, forming a tear lens over the corneal surface for correcting the ocular refractive error. The discrete discontinuity may allow a portion of the lens body to conform to a meridian of the eye without substantially distorting an optical region of the lens body. The discrete discontinuity may allow tear fluid to flow into and out of the free volume to form the tear lens. Optical correction is provided by a combination of the optical region of the lens body and the tear lens.

Spherical astigmatism correcting contact lenses

The invention provides an axisymmetric soft contact lens having aspheric and/or spheric geometrical design for use in correcting an ocular refractive error of an eye.
