Ophthalmic lens with spatially-modulated optical power profile
The patent US12019311B2 describes an innovative ophthalmic lens designed to enhance vision through a unique optical power profile. The lens features a central zone with a defined power and a peripheral zone that extends radially outward. This peripheral zone incorporates an add-power offset relative to the central zone, characterized by a smoothly varying optical power profile that includes multiple maxima and minima. The central zone's diameter is specified to be at least 2.0 mm, with options for it to be between 2.0 to 5.0 mm, and it is designed to be no more than 1 mm smaller than the wearer's pupil. The add power offset can range from 0.5 to 5 diopters, and the lens may also include a transition zone that ensures a continuous variation in power from the optical axis to the outer diameter of the peripheral zone.
Further claims detail the structural and functional aspects of the lens, including the possibility of a step in power between the central and peripheral zones, and the uniformity or variation of base power across the peripheral zone. The lens can be designed as a contact lens, potentially made from hydrogel materials, and may be packaged with a buffered saline solution containing a pharmaceutical agent aimed at reducing myopia progression. The lens is also noted for its rotational symmetry, which may enhance its usability. Overall, the claims outline a sophisticated design intended to provide improved visual acuity through a carefully engineered optical profile.
