Definitions

  • the present invention relates to multifocal ophthalmic lenses.
  • the invention provides lenses in which channel power progression modification is achieved without a significant increase in unwanted astigmatism.
  • ophthalmic lenses for the correction of ametropia
  • multifocal lenses such as progressive addition lenses (“PALs")
  • PALs progressive addition lenses
  • a PAL provides distance, intermediate, and near vision zones in a gradual, continuous progression of increasing dioptric power.
  • PALs are appealing to the wearer because the lenses are free of the visible ledges between the zones of differing optical power that are found in other types of multifocal lenses, such as bifocals and trifocals.
  • the wearer's eyes move from the distance, through the intermediate, and into the near vision zones of a PAL, the wearer's eyes converge bringing the pupils closer together.
  • the design of a PAL would be such that the power progression from the distance zone, through the intermediate and to the near zone matches the wearer's requirements as the eye scans the lens.
  • a trade-off is made between the power progression distribution and the level of unwanted astigmatism of the lens.
  • Unwanted astigmatism is astigmatism introduced or caused by one or more of the lens surfaces resulting in image blurring, distorting, and shifting for the lens wearer.
  • the power progression is distributed over a greater length in some designs. Due to this lengthened distribution, the power distribution may not meet the wearer's requirements and the wearer may have to alter their natural viewing posture, or head and eye position, in order to use the intermediate and near vision zones of the lens. Additionally, a lens with a lengthened channel cannot fit into the smaller spectacle frames currently preferred by lens wearers. In those lens designs in which the power progression distribution is over a shorter length, the level of unwanted astigmatism is increased reducing the useable area of the lens. Thus, a need exists for a PAL that provides a modified channel power progression, but that does not significantly increase the lens' unwanted astigmatism.

  • FIG. 9 is a diagrammatic representation of the surface and lens power profile of a lens of the invention.
  • the present invention provides progressive addition lenses, as well as methods for their design and production, in which the power distribution between the distance and near vision zones is modified.
  • This modified distribution permits the requirements of the lens wearer's eye path to be met. Further, the modified distribution may be used to permit the lens to be used in spectacle frames of any dimensions.
  • the modified channel power distribution of the lenses of the invention is obtained without reducing the useable lens surface by introducing a significant amount of additional unwanted astigmatism.
  • the invention provides a lens comprising, consisting essentially of, and consisting of: a.) at least one first surface that is a progressive addition or regressive surface, the at least one first surface having a first channel with a first channel length and a channel power profile and; b.) at least one modifying surface having a power profile, wherein the channel power profile of the lens is the vector sum of the first surface's channel power profile and modifying surface's power profile and the lens channel power profile, channel length, or both is modified relative to the first surface's channel power profile and channel length.
  • lens is meant any ophthalmic lens including, without limitation, spectacle lenses, contact lenses, intraocular lenses and the like.
  • the lens of the invention is a spectacle lens.
  • progressive addition surface is meant a continuous, aspheric surface having distance and near viewing or vision zones, and a zone of increasing dioptric power connecting the distance and near zones.
  • regressive surface is meant a continuous, aspheric surface having zones for distance and near viewing or vision, and a zone of decreasing dioptric power connecting the distance and near zones.
  • channel is meant the corridor of vision that is free of unwanted astigmatism of about 0.75 diopters or greater when the wearer's eye is scanning through the
  • channel power profile is meant the power distribution along the channel length.
  • channel length is meant the distance from the lens' fitting point to a point along the channel at which the dioptric add power is about 85 percent of the dioptric add power of the surface.
  • fitting point is meant the point on a lens aligned with the wearer's pupil in its distance viewing position when the wearer is looking straight ahead.
  • power profile is meant the power distribution along a modifying surface.
  • modified is meant one or both of a change in the channel power profile or a change in the channel length.
  • a channel power profile of one or more progressive addition or regressive surface may be modified by combining the surface with one or more modifying surfaces.
  • a modifying surface for purposes of this invention, is a continuous, aspherical surface having a power profile, the power profile with one or more power maxima along its length, one or more power minima along its length, or a combination thereof.
  • the modifying surface may be a rotationally symmetric surface without a channel, but preferably is a progressive or regressive surface.
  • the modifying surface power profile is designed so that, when the modifying surface is combined with one or more of a progressive addition or regressive surface, the channel power profile, the channel length, or a combination thereof of the progressive addition surface or regressive surface is altered.
  • the alteration may be of the power distribution along the channel, while the original channel length is maintained.
  • the channel power profile may change and the channel length may be lengthened or shortened.
  • the modifying surface power profile preferably, is continuous and exhibits no abrupt power changes to avoid introduction of unwanted astigmatism or image jumps into the lens.
  • the top and bottom of the modifying surface's power profile and progressive addition or regressive surface channels may be aligned.
  • the start of the modifying surface power profile will be aligned with the top portion of the progressive addition or regressive surface channel. This alignment acts to subtract power from the progressive surface power profile and shorten the channel length of the resulting lens.
  • a modifying surface is combined with a progressive surface, the modifying surface with a maximum in its power profile preferably is situated so that the end of the modifying surface power profile will be aligned with the with the lower portion of the progressive addition surface's channel so that it adds power to, or increases, the power in the channel's lower portion.
  • This alignment serves to result in a lens that reaches full near vision power using a shorter length.
  • the alignment will be reversed in case in which the modifying surface is used in combination with a regressive surface.
  • the start of the modifying surface's power profile may be aligned with the progressive or regressive surface's channel's top portion. This alignment may be used to increase or decrease the power over substantially all of the channel length or to form a plateau of a specified power within the channel.
  • the modifying surface may or may not provide additional dioptric add power to the lens.
  • dioptric add power is meant the amount of dioptric power difference between the distance and near vision zones.
  • the modifying surface provides less than about 3.50 diopters, more preferably less than about 1.00 diopters, most preferably less than about 0.50 diopters.

  • one or more progressive addition or regressive surfaces may be used in combination with a modifying surface. Additionally, the features resulting from the physical combination of a modifying and progressive addition or regressive surface may be incorporated into a single lens surface.

In the case in which one or more progressive addition or regressive surfaces is used, the channel power profile for each such surface may be the same or different.
