Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lenses, and in particular to a free-form surface lens and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] People's vision is prone to various problems, such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. The most common method to correct patients' vision is optometry and glasses. At present, glasses such as myopia glasses and reading glasses have smooth curved surfaces and regular shapes, which can correct low-order aberrations of the eyes.

[0003] The aberrations of the eye include low-order aberrations and high-order aberrations. The myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism mentioned above are all low-order aberrations, which are the main aberrations that affect vision. High-order aberrations can also affect vision, especially in some patients, such as those after corneal transplantation and corneal trauma, whose corneal surface is not smooth but has an uneven characteristic. For example, one area may have 500 degrees of myopia, while another area may have 300 degrees of myopia. Conventional glasses cannot correct such refractive errors. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a free-form surface lens and a preparation method thereof that can simultaneously correct an individual's low-order aberrations and high-order aberrations. Even if the patient has irregular aberrations, we can accurately obtain the parameters of the irregular aberrations and correct them, so that the patient's vision correction reaches an ideal state, which can solve the problems that ordinary glasses cannot solve clinically. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention discloses a free-form surface lens and a preparation method thereof, characterized in that it comprises: a first zone, the first zone is located at the center of the ophthalmic lens; a first peripheral area, the first peripheral area continuously extends from the center, and the first peripheral area has a refractive power different from the refractive power at the center; and a second peripheral area, the second peripheral area continuously extends from the first peripheral area and has a refractive power different from the refractive power of the first peripheral area, thereby providing a continuous method for slowing down, delaying or preventing the progression of myopia. Free-form surface power distribution, continuous free-form surface power distribution has visual efficacy that is basically equivalent to that of a single-vision lens, and has a focal depth and reduced retinal image quality sensitivity, the refractive power of the lens body itself is set to the refractive power of the eye, and the surface equation F1 (X, Y, Z) = 0 of the lens body itself is obtained; the surface equation F2 (X, Y, Z) = 0 of the corneal surface is obtained; the surface F2 is enlarged and superimposed on the surface of the surface F1, and the surface F3 (X, Y, Z) = 0 is obtained; based on the surface F3, the lens is obtained by 3D printing.

[0005] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the refractive power of the eye is obtained by traditional optometry means.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the surface equation F2 of the corneal surface is obtained as follows: a longitudinal tomographic scan of the cornea is performed using corneal OCT, and the set of points obtained by the scan is fitted to the surface equation F2(X, Y, Z)=0.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the surface equation F2 of the corneal surface obtained above is specifically: The cornea is scanned through corneal topography; the 3D model of the cornea is reconstructed based on the scanned image, thereby obtaining the surface function equation F2 of the corneal surface.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present application can obtain the following technical effects: 1) It can correct an individual’s low-order and high-order aberrations at the same time. Even if the patient has irregular aberrations, we can accurately obtain the parameters of the irregular aberrations and correct them, so that the patient’s vision correction reaches the ideal state, which can solve problems that ordinary glasses cannot solve clinically.

[0009] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above technical effects at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
