20100195212 | HIGH-ORDER ABERRATION CORRECTION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF HUMAN VISUAL FUNCTION - The present invention relates to the optimization of human visual function by correcting and/or optimizing high-order optical aberrations in high performance optical devices. The optimization is particularly useful for high performance devices used under low light conditions such as binoculars, rifle scopes, telescopes, microscopes, night vision goggles and laser eye protection devices. | 08-05-2010 |
20100265457 | MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING LENSES - The subject invention provides methods for creating wavefront aberrators with a desired refractive index profile that is stable against thermal and/or solar exposure. The invention further provides wavefront aberrators produced according to the methods described herein. | 10-21-2010 |
20110157547 | METHOD OF DESIGNING PROGRESSIVE ADDITION LENSES - Embodiments of the invention pertain to a method for producing a spectacle lens with optimal correction across the entire lens taking into account the patient's complete measured wavefront. Specific embodiments can also take into account one or more additional factors such as vertex distance, segmental fitting height, pantoscopic tilt, and use conditions. The lens wavefront can be achieved by optimizing a corrected wavefront, where the corrected wavefront is the combined effect of the patient's measured wavefront and the lens wavefront. The optimization of the corrected wavefront can involve representing the measured wavefront and the lens wavefront on a grid. In an embodiment, the grid can lie in a plane. During the optimization, a subset of the grid can be used for the representation of the measured wavefront at a point on the grid so as to take into account the portions of the measured wavefront that contribute to the corrected wavefront at that point on the grid. | 06-30-2011 |

20120262668 | Methods of designing progressive addition lenses - Embodiments of the invention pertain to a method for producing a spectacle lens with optimal correction across the entire lens that take the patient's complete measured wavefront into account. Specific embodiments also consider one or more additional factors such as vertex distance, intermediate power, add power, segmental fitting height, pantoscopic tilt, and use conditions. The lens wavefront can be achieved by optimizing a corrected wavefront, where the corrected wavefront is the effect of the patient's measured wavefront and/or the lens wavefront. The optimization of the corrected wavefront can involve representing the measured wavefront and/or the lens wavefront on a grid. In an exemplary embodiment, the grid can lie in a plane. During the optimization, a subset of the grid can be used for the representation of the measured wavefront at a point on the grid so that the portions of the measured wavefront that contribute to the corrected wavefront at that point on the grid are taken into account. The progressive addition lens can be utilized for distance, intermediate and reading use wherein the power progression is non-linear in any number or all of the near, intermediate, and far zones. | 10-18-2012 |
