Abstract
A method for correcting aberrations of a patient's eye with a customized contact lens, including determining an optimal XY location and an optimal angular orientation, a, for placing correction optics on the customized contact lens by using an optical instrument to measure XY offsets (ΔX, ΔY) and X, Y, Z tilt angles, (θ, θ, α), respectively, of a predicate contact lens while disposed on the patient's eye is disclosed. The predicate contact lens and the customized contact lens can be a scleral contact lens or a normal contact lens. The optical instrument can comprise a wavefront aberrometer and/or a corneal topographer. The correction optics include a wavefront-customized contact lens with a built-in, optimized wavefront-guided correction patch. The predicate contact lens can include three or more fiducial marks inside of the pupil, which can be used to determine the XY center of the predicate contact lens when placed on the patient's eye.
