Abstract
Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for providing improved extended depth of focus lenses. Exemplary ophthalmic lenses can include an optic including a diffractive profile including a plurality of echelettes, each echelette of the diffractive profile having a different width in r-squared space than any other echelette of the diffractive profile and each echelette of the diffractive profile being configured to distribute light to a distance focus.
Claims10
A method comprising:
- fabricating an optic for an ophthalmic lens, the optic including a diffractive profile including a plurality of echelettes, each echelette of the diffractive profile having a different width in r-squared space than any other echelette of the diffractive profile and each echelette of the diffractive profile being configured to distribute light to a distance focus.
A system for fabricating an ophthalmic lens, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to determine a diffractive profile of an optic, the diffractive profile including a plurality of echelettes, each echelette of the diffractive profile having a different width in r-squared space than any other echelette of the diffractive profile and each echelette of the diffractive profile being configured to distribute light to a distance focus;
- and
- a manufacturing assembly that fabricates the optic based on the diffractive profile.
