Abstract
A ophthalmic lens for inhibiting progression of myopia includes a central zone and an annular zone. The annular zone includes subsurface optical elements formed via laser-induced changes in refractive index of a material forming the annular zone. The subsurface optical elements are configured to modify distribution of light to the peripheral retina of a user so as to inhibit progression of myopia.
Claims19
An ophthalmic lens comprising:
- a central zone;
- and
- an annular zone comprising subsurface optical elements formed via laser-induced changes in refractive index in targeted subsurface sub-volumes of the annular zone via laser beam pulses focused onto the targeted subsurface sub-volumes, wherein the subsurface optical elements are configured to modify distribution of light to a peripheral retina of a user so as to inhibit progression of myopia, and wherein the subsurface optical elements are arranged in one or more subsurface layers of the annular zone.
