The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for treating presbyopia, mild hyperopia, and irregular astigmatism. The compositions include a cholinergic agent, such as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M₃ agonist, and an alpha agonist having an imidazoline group or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) having COX-2 selectivity. It has been found that an alpha agonist having an imidazoline group or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) having COX-2 selectivity in combination with a cholinergic agent, such as pilocarpine, act synergistically to improve the accommodative and focusing ability of the eye while minimizing the side effects from each compound.

Badal Optometer and rotating cylinders are inserted in the AO-OCT to correct large spectacle aberrations such as myopia, hyperopic and astigmatism for ease of clinical use and reduction. Spherical mirrors in the sets of the telescope are rotated orthogonally to reduce aberrations and beam displacement caused by the scanners. This produces greatly reduced AO registration errors and improved AO performance to enable high order aberration correction in a patient eyes.

A binocular vision apparatus allows a patient to view objects through the apparatus with polychromatic light and monochromatic aberration correction, such that the chromatic aberration of the eye can be combined with the monochromatic aberration correction, so as to provide a more accurate determination of vision quality. The binocular vision apparatus provides left and right viewing optics that can substantially maintain the line of sight of each eye, such that objects can be viewed in a room with 3D depth perception corresponding to the distance of the object from the patient. As both near and far objects can be viewed with binocular aberration correction, the patient can alternate binocular viewing between near and far vision with chromatic aberration so as to evaluate a proposed treatment such as a presbyopia correction.

Systems, methods and apparatus for performing selective ablation of a corneal surface of an eye to effect a desired corneal shape, particularly for correcting a hyperopic/astigmatic condition by laser sculpting the corneal surface to increase its curvature. In one aspect of the invention, a method includes the steps of directing a laser beam onto a corneal surface of an eye, and changing the corneal surface from an initial curvature having hyperopic and astigmatic optical properties to a subsequent curvature having correctively improved optical properties. Thus, the curvature of the anterior corneal surface is increased to correct hyperopia, while cylindrical volumetric sculpting of the corneal tissue is performed to correct the astigmatism. The hyperopic and astigmatic corrections are preferably performed by establishing an optical correction zone on the anterior corneal surface of the eye, and directing a laser beam through a variable aperture element designed to produce a rectangular ablation (i.e., cylindrical correction) on a portion of the optical correction zone. The laser beam is then displaced by selected amounts across the optical correction zone to produce a series of rectangular ablations on the correction zone that increases the curvature of the corneal surface to correct the hyperopic refractive error.

To make available a corneal implant which is suitable for use in the visual centre (Z) of the human eye and can be used to correct presbyopia on its own or in combination with hypermetropia or myopia, it is provided that the effective thickness (d) of the corneal implant (2), measured in the direction of the optic axis (5) of the eye, is more than 50[mu]m and the maximum width (b), measured in a plane perpendicular to the direction of thickness, is less than l mm, the corneal implant (2) having no imaging function in relation to the human eye.

The present invention includes an ophthalmic device and system of mounting for correcting hyperopia, myopia and presbyopia. The present invention includes a limbus ring mountable in an encircling relation to a central optic zone of a cornea on a limbus annulus surrounding the cornea. In the limbus ring defines a substantially annular toroid defining a first average diameter that is selectable and has a hydrophilic coating disposed thereon. The inner radius of the limbus ring is selectable such that, upon mounting on the limbus annulus, the limbus ring causes the limbus annulus to contract or expand thereby causing the curvature of the cornea and the eye length to increase or decrease. The mounting system of the present invention is adapted to receive a limbus ring and further adapted to selectively place the limbus ring on a limbus annulus.

The invention relates to an ophthalmic lens for long-sighted and intermediate vision comprising a complex surface provided with an optical centre, a substantially umbilicated meridian line and an average size sphere progression on the top surface equal to or greater than 0.50 diopters. The complex surface is provided in the top part thereof with a long-sighted vision area which is formed by cylinder points equal to or less than 0.25 diopters and covers an angular sector focused on the optical centre and whose angle is equal to 160°. Said complex surface also comprises an average size substantially constant sphere on the meridian line in the long-sighted vision area and a progression length equal to or less than 12 mm. Said progression length is defined as a vertical distance between the optical centre and a median point for which the average sphere if greater than 85% of progression on the average sphere in the optical centre. The inventive lens is suitable for driving and prescribed to persons having additional prescription greater than a power progression, whereby a correction adaptable to the power prescription of a longsighted vision person is provided in the top part of the lens. The lower part of the lens ensures the correction needed for an intermediate vision person.

Problem To provide a lens for eyesight correction glasses that allows the user to see a nearby viewing object in a naked eye state. Means for Resolution An upper portion A of a lens to be mounted on glasses that is made an eyesight correction portion for far-viewing and its lower portion B that is made a portion for near-viewing that has no eyesight correction ability or has small eyesight correction ability are integrated with each other. The eyesight correction portion for far-viewing corrects farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism, etc. The lower portion having no eyesight correction ability includes no correction diopter and provides the same effect as viewing with the naked eye. The reason why this portion is used to perform small eyesight correction is to minimize an undue load on the ciliary muscles in view of the facts that the effectuation of "adjustment" that is a function of stressing the ciliary muscles to increase the thickness of the crystalline lenses to thereby increase the refractive power varies from one person to another and that there are persons with astigmatism. It is preferable that the correction ability be as small as 0.00-1.00 diopter. In particular, the lens for eyesight correction glasses contributes to acceleration of natural recovery of infants from temporary nearsightedness.
