Abstract

A progressive power contact lens comprises a distance vision central portion and an aspherical peripheral portion of progressive power.

Description

SPECIFICATION Invention of varifocal contact lens.
Contact Lenses has been with us for very long time but to this state all the contact lenses are available either in single vision or in bifocal form. Bifocal forms are mainly of spectacle shape which have proved to be difficult and cumbersome to fit and patient's inability to adapt to them satisfactarily. Eye being very sensitive organ of the human body finds these lenses unacceptable because they insult the cornea and the eye lids.
My invention of varifocal contact lens does not harm the eye in any way. As the enclosed diagrame shows the construction of the contact lens has distance centre portion and peripheral portion of aspheric construction. Aspheric curve has a different radius at every point. The front centre optic radius can be calculated given the following parametres: Back centre optic radius Power of the lens Centre thickness of the lens Refractive index of the material The front peripheral radius is spherical surface which is calculated when the following parametres are known: Third peripheral radius at a given point (determined by the fitting of the lens) Addition power of the lens.
Physical thickness at the point.
Refractive index of the material.
As the back surface is aspherical up to the edge of the back centre optic diametre diameter and the front surface is spherical, of two radii, front central optic radius and front optical prepheral optical radius.
Central portion of the lens will produce distance power while the peripheral radius will produce a different power at every point.
To construct a varifocal lens we need to calculate a set of settings for the lathe. This is best illustrated by flow chart diagrame.
Following prescription is a typical forivarifocal specification Back cenetral optic radius.
Back Central optic diameter.
Overall diameter.
Edge lift Power ofthe lens (distance) Maximum addiction.
Diameter at the point of maximum addition.
Centre thickness of the lens.
Refractive index of the material.
All the above specifications will be needed to calculate the following lathe settings.
Back peripheral radius (r2) Off set Angie FEED To calculate the front optic radius-the following specifications will be used: Back central-optic radius.
DISTANCE POWER of the lens.
Centre thickness of the lens.
Refractive index of the material.
To calculate the third radius at the maximum addition point the following data will be used: Overall diameter.
Back centre optic diameter.
Second peripheral radius.
Edge lift.
Back central optic radius.
To calculate the front optical peripheral radius the following data is required:third radius.
Physical thickness at maximum addition point.
Power of the lens at the- pi̲nt' (distance+reading).
Refractive index of the material.
Lathe and Lens Calculations.
Edge Lift (E.L.)=b2(1-1) 2 r1 r2 Where r2 is peripheral radius.
b is half of periphery i.e. from the edge of back central optic diameter to the overall diameter.
r1 is Back Central optic radius.
E.L. is defined as the perpendicular distancefrom the projection of the back centre optic surface to the edge of the lens.
OFFSET=B.C.O.D.(r2-r1) 2r, where values r, and r2 are same as above B.C.O.D.-is back central optic diameter.
FEED=(r2-r1)2-(OFFSET)2 F1 (Front central optic radius=(1 -n) X 1000.
r1 f1= 1000 F1 f'1=F1- Ct n F',= 1000 f 1 F2=F'1 +B V P (Back vertex power) F.C.0.R.= 1-n F2 SEE DIAGRAMME.
ANGLE. sin 0= B C.O.D.
r1 Calculate r3 (any point on the periphery of the lens to the geometric centre of the lens) saggita of O.D. with r2 saggitta of B.C.O.D. with B.C.O.R.
saggitta of B.C.O.D. with r2 saggitta of max. diameter of the add with r2.
r is any radius and y is half the diameter.
S (GD) Total sag of the iens=B.C.O.R. on B.C.O.D.+O.D. on r2-r2 on B.C.O.D.
S, (TD) sag from B.F.O.D. TO O.D.=r2on O.D.-r2 on B.C.O.D.
S2 (ED) is variable according to the maximum add diameter and must be divided proportionally according to S,.
GE=S3=S-S2 r3=CR=The distance between geometric centre to the max. addition point.
CE=B.C.O.R.S3
To calculate Second front optic peripheral radius, Distance power+Reading power=Reading Rx F3 (1 -n) x 1000 r3 f3= 1000 F3 f= 1000 F'3 f3=F3- pt n where pt is physical thickness at maximum addition point.
F'3= 1000 ft3 F4=F3+(BVP) F.P.O.R. '(r4)= 1-n F2

Claims (10)

1. Power in the reading area will increase gradually.
2. there is no sudden jump from distance to the reading portion.
3. This lens design allows the wearer to look above and below the eye level for close distances.
4. The gradual power is concentric which fulfills the claim no 3.
5. Lens can be made to any perameter without restrictions.
6. The lens design allows the fitter to determine any central clearance and edge clearance without compromising the fitting of the lens.
7. The lens design allows the fitter to increase or decrease the graduation of power in the reading portion by varing the edge lift of the lens.
8. The back central optic radius and the periphery have no sharp transition so there is no damage to the cornea.
9. The adaptation period for the wearer is no longer than the single vision contact lens.
10. There are no aberrations in the lens as it is made from one piece of material.
