A method for regionally optimizing astigmatism in a progressive multifocal ophthalmic lens
This invention relates to an optimization method for progressive multifocal lenses. First, a portion of the progressive multifocal lens surface is replaced by a linear superposition of that area and a spherical surface. The spherical surface used is the one whose boundary is closest to the boundary of the replaced lens area, calculated using the least squares method. Then, Zernike polynomials are used to selectively fit the surface elevation of the replaced lens, further smoothing the progressive multifocal lens surface. This invention can control the optical power and astigmatic distribution in the astigmatic region of the progressive multifocal lens surface by changing the location and range of the region, thereby improving surface astigmatism and helping wearers obtain a better visual experience.

Progressive multifocal ring focus / defocus convergence lens
This invention relates to the field of lens technology, particularly to a progressive multifocal ring-focusing and defocusing converging lens, comprising: a lens matrix, a distance vision ring-focus area, a near vision ring-focus area, a progressive area, and an outer vision area. The ring-focusing and defocusing converging microstructure is as follows: in the distance vision ring-focus area corresponding to the main optical area, a single ring-shaped cylindrical convex microlens generates a defocus amount C1, which is then converged by all the ring-shaped cylindrical convex microlenses in the upper distance vision area to generate a first converged defocus amount C11. In the near vision ring-focus area, a single ring-shaped cylindrical convex microlens generates a defocus amount C2, which is then converged by all the ring-shaped cylindrical convex microlenses in the lower near vision area to generate a second converged defocus amount C11. This invention achieves a smoother change in defocus amount at mid-to-long distances, reducing visual fatigue. It solves the problem in existing technologies where some lenses exhibit unstable defocus amounts at mid-to-long distances, resulting in unstable defocus amounts even with accommodation, thereby preventing and controlling the progression of myopia in children and adolescents.

Artificial lens capsule
An artificial lens capsule is provided for use during cataract surgery or in cases of aphakia (absence of lens) or posterior capsule rupture (PCR). A common complication during cataract surgery is the rupture of the posterior capsule, preventing the placement of a monofocal intraocular lens in the lens capsule due to inadequate support. Typically, a 3-piece, long haptic intraocular lens can be placed in the ciliary sulcus or capsule if the monofocal intraocular lens is sufficient. However, for placing a toric (astigmatism correcting) or presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (multifocal), there are currently no options for a 3-piece sulcus-fixated lens. The artificial capsule disclosed herein can be inserted and supported by the anterior capsular rim or sutured into the sclera if capsular support is inadequate. This provides a stable region for placing a single-piece toric or presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens, thereby enhancing the options for lens placement in cases of inadequate capsular support. The device can also be a reservoir for other future intraocular and / or drug-eluting devices.

Enhanced Addition Contact Lens Pair for the Correction of Presbyopia, and Related Lens Pair System and Fitting Method - Patent application
Enhanced addition contact lens pairs for the correction of presbyopia, as well as related enhanced addition contact lens pair systems and fitting methods. The optical zones of the enhanced addition contact lens pair are optimized as a binocular system so that the lens wearer experiences not only enhanced presbyopia-corrected near vision, such as that of near monocular vision, but also enhanced intermediate and distance vision. Enhanced presbyopia-corrected near vision is achieved through the central near optical zone of the central near non-dominant ocular lens, which has an add power and is optimized in diameter size based on expected pupil constriction. Enhanced intermediate distance vision through the transition optical zone in the enhanced addition contact lens pair emulates extended depth of focus (EDOF) through binocular addition and multifocality when the wearer is focusing on intermediate distance objects. Enhanced distance vision is achieved by light received through the enhanced addition contact lens pair when the wearer is focusing on distant distance objects, emulating so-called "partial monocular vision."
