This relates to a lens made of donor corneal tissue suitable for use as a contact lens or an implanted lens, to a method of preparing that lens, and to a technique of placing the lens on the eye. The lens is made of donor corneal tissue that is acellularized by removing native epithelium and keratocytes. These cells optionally are replaced with human epithelium and keratocytes to form a lens that has a structural anatomy similar to human cornea. The ocular lens may be used to correct conditions such as astigmatism, myopia, aphakia, and presbyopia.

A lens and a method of making lenses suitable for color blindness correction are disclosed. The corrective lens may be formed of an optically transparent base material, which is tinted to the desired color for correction by immersion in a colorant dye. The color tinted lens is then tinted by a neutral tint dye to render the lens observable as a regular corrective lens. If desired, the dyes may be heated during immersion.

The present invention includes corrective lenses for reshaping the cornea of an eye to improve vision, and methods of designing such corrective lenses. In accordance with various embodiments, the corrective lenses include a central portion, a periphery portion, and a junction region joining the central portion and the periphery portion comprised of a semi-rigid and / or flexible material. The corrective lenses are designed such that localized forces (e.g., lid forces and / or fluid forces in the eye) act on the corrective lenses to draw the periphery portion of a corrective lens to the corneal surface, which causes the junction region and / or central portion to apply pressure on the cornea to change the shape of the cornea. Because different individuals may require a different adjustment to their corneas to correct their particular problem, a corrective lens in accordance with the present invention may be specially designed to reshape the cornea of each user according to his / her particular needs.

The accuracy of servo control of a corrective lens in an image stabilization control circuit is prevented from decreasing due to non-linear characteristics of a position-detecting element. A signal representing a component of vibration of an image pickup apparatus is generated based on an angular velocity signal from a vibration-detecting element. A microcomputer corrects the vibration component signal according to a predetermined correction function and generates a target position signal representing a target position of the lens. A position-detection signal based on an output from the position-detecting element is compared with the target position signal, and the position of the lens is servo-controlled. The correction function is set so that the characteristics of variation of the target position signal relative to the target position will be the same as the characteristics of variation of the position-detection signal relative to the actual position of the lens.
