Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide for a method of creating a lens. Examples of the method include identifying a limbal zone of the eye, determining a back optic zone within the limbal zone, determining a front optic zone based at least partially on the limbal zone, computing a lens surface of the lens based at least partially on the limbal zone, the back optic zone, and the front optic zone, de-centering at least one of the back optic zone or the front optic zone from a visual axis or a spindle axis of the lens.
Claims20
A method of creating a lens, comprising:
- identifying a limbal zone of the eye;
- determining a back optic zone within the limbal zone;
- determining a front optic zone based at least partially on the limbal zone;
- computing a lens surface of the lens based at least partially on the limbal zone, the back optic zone, and the front optic zone;
- and
- de-centering at least one of the back optic zone or the front optic zone from a visual axis or a spindle axis of the lens.
A method of creating a lens, comprising:
- determining characteristics of a back lens surface including a back optic zone;
- and
- determining characteristics of a front lens surface including a front optic zone,
- wherein a position of the back optic zone is de-coupled from dependence on a position of the front optic zone.
A lens, comprising:
- a back optic zone;
- a front optic zone;
- and
- a lens surface determined at least partially based on the back optic zone and the front optic zone,
- wherein at least one of the back optic zone or the front optic zone is de-centered from a visual axis or a spindle axis of the lens.
