Described are multifocal contact lenses that contain high energy visible (HEV) light absorbing compounds and their use for improving one or more vision attributes.

Multifocal contact lens displaying improved vision attributes

An interactive fit tool and methodology which may be utilized by an eye care professional to improve the efficiency and final outcome in selecting a pair of contact lenses targeted towards a specific patient visual need in the treatment of presbyopia. The interactive fit tool comprises an application which includes images that would allow a patient to decide if he or she desires balanced visual acuity, near biased visual acuity, or distance biased visual acuity. In addition, the interactive fit tool comprises fit guide tables and performs the calculations for vertex distance and spherical equivalent.

Patient interactive fit tool and methodology for contact lens fitting

A family of ophthalmic lenses for correcting presbyopia meets constraints for distance vision, near vision, and disparity and may be designed according to a process that incorporates a merit function accounting for binocular visual performance.

Lens systems for presbyopia

The invention provides methods for designing contact lenses and contact lenses designed according to the method, which lenses provide an improved method for presbyopia correction compared to conventional lenses and methods. It is a discovery of the invention that improved performance and reduced design time can be obtained by using lens pairs that act synergistically to provide the lens wearer with good binocularity and consistent performance in near, intermediate and distance vision.
