Estimating the term…
This invention relates to methods and devices for designing customized contact lenses, by initially making dynamic wavefront sensor measurements through a trial contact lens that is fitted on an eye, and then calculating a WaveFront Guided (WFG) correction to be applied to the trial contact lens that reduces the RMS level of aberrations as much as practically possible. The output of the wavefront correction program is a customized lathe file that the manufacturer can use to make customized contact lenses on a lathe. The method works best for soft contact lenses and scleral lenses.
An instrument for measuring multiple parameters of the human eye, comprising:
An ophthalmic measuring instrument comprising means for measuring wavefront aberrations, corneal topography and iris images, said means being mounted on an electromechanical patient alignment stage.
A method for designing and fabricating wavefront guided contact lenses comprising the steps of:
The method of claim 14, further comprising:
An aberrometer optical instrument, for measuring refraction and higher order aberrations of an eye, with or without a contact lens in place, comprising means for propagating light along seven different paths, comprising:
