Abstract

A method of determining the transmittance of a contact lens (200) includes the steps of obtaining a measurement of a first intensity of electromagnetic radiation reflected by ocular surface (100) withan intensity measuring device (400), positioning the contact lens (200) in direct contact with the ocular surface (100), obtaining a measurement of a second intensity of electromagnetic radiation transmitted through the contact lens (200) that is reflected a region (110) of the ocular surface (100) that is covered by the contact lens (200) with the intensity measuring device (400); and calculating the transmittance using the measurements of the first intensity and the second intensity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and measurement systems for determining optical properties of contact lenses, such as photochromic contact lenses, under real world conditions. Background technique [0002] Optical elements that absorb electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum are used in a variety of items such as contact lenses. A "contact lens" is expressly defined herein as a device that physically resides in or directly on the eye. "Directly on" means "in direct contact with". It should be understood that the terms "directly on" and "in direct contact with" also include the presence of a tear film between the contact lens and the eye. [0003] Contact lenses that absorb electromagnetic radiation improve the viewing comfort of the wearer and enhance the wearer's ability to see in bright conditions. Examples of contact lenses that absorb electromagnetic radiation include fixed tint contact lenses and ...
