Described herein are systems and/or methods for forming an ophthalmic lens. An example method may comprise a step of determining a power profile based on a power profile function defined by a base optical power, an amount of spherical aberration at a radial distance from a geometric center of the lens, and a bump function. The example method may comprise a step of adjusting the power profile based at least on minimizing a shape metric of a through-focus curve.

Optical lens design for flattening a through-focus curve

A system of contact lenses includes at least two contact lenses, each lens having a visual correction for a non-rotationally symmetric eye aberration. Each lens has a different level or degree of a stabilization that is characterized by a thickness differential between a thickness of a stabilization zone and a thickness of a non-stabilization zone.

Comfort-optimized contact lens system for non-rotationally symmetric eye aberration

A reversible eye enhancement contact lens comprises a main body comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the main body having a diameter, a base curve, a peripheral thickness, and a center thickness, wherein, one or more of the diameter, the base curve, the peripheral thickness, or the center thickness are configured such that a dSag is less than 1.3% when comparing a first orientation of the main body with at least a portion of the first surface abutting an eye of a wearer and a second orientation of the main body with at least a portion of the second surface abutting the eye of the wearer; the main body further comprising a first region corresponding to the scleral region of an eye; a second region corresponding to the limbal region of an eye; a third region corresponding to an iris region of an eye; wherein colorants are incorporated into the first region, the second region, the third region, or combinations thereof and configured to create a cosmetic design in the first orientation that is different than the cosmetic design in the second orientation. The cosmetic designs in the first and second orientations may differ in colorant, color, limbal design graphics, inner effect design graphics, outer effect design graphics, barrier layers, clear coat base layers, or combinations thereof. The colorants may comprise metal oxide pigments, coated metal oxide pigments, organic dyes, interference pigments, and combinations thereof.

Cosmetic contact lens with reversible effects

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 and defining a volume of lens material therebetween. The ophthalmic lens may exhibit a first cylinder power. A difference of the volume of lens material of the ophthalmic lens and a volume of lens material of a comparative lens may be minimized. The comparative lens may consist essentially of the same lens material as the ophthalmic lens and exhibit a second cylinder power different from the first cylinder power.

Soft contact lens with reduced volume variation

An ophthalmic lens may comprises a main body comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the main body having a diameter, a base curve, a peripheral thickness, and a center thickness, wherein, one or more of the diameter, the base curve, the peripheral thickness, or the center thickness are configured such that a dsag is less than 1.3% when comparing a first orientation of the main body with at least a portion of the first surface abutting an eye of a wearer and a second orientation of the main body with at least a portion of the second surface abutting the eye of the wearer.

Invertible lens and method of design

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.

Soft contact lens with new stabilization zones for improved angular stability and comfort

A mold for a front curve of an ophthalmic lens includes an inner region having a non-rotationally symmetric shape, an outer region having a rotationally symmetric shape, and a continuous middle region between the inner region and the outer region. A first portion of the middle region is in contact with the inner region, defining a non-rotationally symmetric rim or edge of a front surface of the ophthalmic lens. A second portion of the middle region is in contact with the outer region and is rotationally symmetrical.

Mold for contact lens with non-rotationally symmetric rim or edge

An optimized contact lens design and method which leverages the strain energy of the system when placed on eye that improves centration, translation, and stabilization characteristics, or any combination thereof, in order to improve both comfort and vision. A contact lens design and methodology wherein the lens-eye resulting strain energy is optimized to achieve the desired function be it centration, translation, or stabilization. Since the lens strain energy is directly driven by the amount of lens deformation, it is possible to control the lens strain energy through the modulus of the material, design of the lens geometry, namely the radii or curvature, peripheral thickness profiles, edge or rim shapes. The surface pressure and/or lens strain energy can be optimized for a given population by averaging the ocular eye shape/surface. Alternatively the lens strain energy can be optimized for a single given eye (i.e., custom design).

Contact lens with optimized performance and method of design

Translating contact lenses which are truncated for correcting presbyopia and whose design is optimized to maximize translation ability while maintaining comfort when the lens is worn on eye. Truncation of the lenses results in a non-round geometry while still retaining under-lid residency in select portions of the lens itself. Maximum thickness and back surface radius of curvature along with ramp shape can be optimized individually or in combination to maximize translation of the lens relative to the eye, when the lens is positioned on eye.
