Definitions
- the present invention relates to a diffractive eye lens with a front side, a rear side and a main optical axis, the front side and / or the rear side having a spherical, aspherical, spherical-toric, aspherical-toric or free-form basic shape, and the front side and / or the rear side has a diffractive optical structure, the diffractive optical structure comprising a first lens area with a plurality of first annular diffraction zones that encircle the main optical axis of the eye lens and each have a main sub-zone and a phase sub-zone.
- Bifocal eye lenses usually have two main refractive powers (also known as main refractive powers) and enable sharp vision in the distance (far focus for far vision) and in the reading distance (near focus for near vision). Multifocal eye lenses with more than two main refractive powers, for example, also enable sharp vision at a central distance (intermediate vision). Bifocal or trifocal eye lenses are realized, for example, by diffractive structures that work in a combination of different diffraction orders.
- Multifocal lenses with refractive and diffractive refractive powers are known from EP 1 194 797 B1.
- the lenses disclosed there have annular or ring-shaped zones, these annular zones each being subdivided into a main sub-zone and a phase sub-zone.
- the system of the main sub-zones represents a diffraction lens which in the cited prior art has two main refractive powers or main refractive powers.
- the refractive powers in the phase sub-zones are selected in such a way that the averaged refractive power of the entire zone or the entire lens corresponds to one of the coincides with the two main diffractive powers.
- the diffractive lens described is a bifocal lens.
- EP 1 194797 B1 also discloses trifocal lenses in which the averaged refractive power is equal to the mean of the three main refractive powers (center distance), the greatest main refractive power being given by the diffractive power of the +1 order (reading distance, near vision ), and where the smallest main refractive power is given by the diffractive refractive power of the -1th order (far, far focus).
- Such trifocal lenses can have a longitudinal chromatic aberration - so-called longitudinal chromatic aberration - both in the smallest and in the largest of the three main refractive powers or the main refractive powers. If such lenses are to be used as ophthalmic lenses (e.g.
- this longitudinal chromatic aberration is particularly disadvantageous for the smallest of the main refractive powers.
- This refractive power is used to image distant objects.
- a longitudinal chromatic aberration associated with the -1th order of diffraction is particularly disruptive in such a use, since it intensifies the natural longitudinal chromatic aberration of the eye.
- multifocal lenses are used that work in a combination of the zeroth, first and, if necessary, the second order of diffraction.
- the zeroth diffraction order is used in these lenses for the far focus, whereas the positive diffraction orders (n> 0) generate the addition power for near vision and / or intermediate vision.
- the zeroth diffractive order of diffraction has the property that it does not introduce any diffractive color errors into the optical system of the eye. This means that the vision in the distance is affected by the purely refractive color errors from the material dispersion of the optical media of the eye and the (artificial) eye lens. These color errors can reduce the perceptible contrast for the patient with polychromatic lighting.
- diffraction lenses which work in higher diffraction orders (n> 0) - for example, for the distance in the +1 th, intermediate in the + 2 th and in near vision in the + 3 th diffraction order.
- diffraction lenses which work in higher diffraction orders (n> 0) - for example, for the distance in the +1 th, intermediate in the + 2 th and in near vision in the + 3 th diffraction order.
- phase shift hereinafter also called path difference, optical path length difference or optical path length difference
- path difference optical path length difference or optical path length difference
- a halo is to be understood as an atrium that results in an overexposed background around a (punctiform) light source. In the radial direction there is an unavoidable primary halo, which results from the superposition of the circles of confusion of the
- Useful diffraction orders result in a secondary halo (also called “deep halo” or “glow”). This leads to a visual impairment for the user of the described diffraction lens and reduces, for example, the contrast sensitivity.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to describe a diffractive eye lens which enables color correction and at the same time improves the visual properties of the eye lens by reducing a halo.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a diffractive eye lens with a front side, a rear side and a main optical axis.
- the front and / or the back have a spherical, an aspherical, a spherical-toric, an aspherical-toric or a free-form basic shape.
- a free-form surface corresponds to a free-form surface that is described, for example, by means of a polynomial or piece-by-part by means of polynomials.
- the front side and / or the rear side have a diffractive optical structure, the diffractive optical structure comprising a first lens area with a plurality of first annular diffraction zones that encircle the main optical axis of the eye lens and each have a main sub-zone and a phase sub-zone.
- the diffractive eye lens according to the invention is characterized in that the diffractive optical structure in the first lens area is designed so that at a design wavelength there is a significant diffraction efficiency for an optical path length difference between the first main sub-zones of more than one wavelength.
- the diffractive optical structure in the first lens area is also designed such that for the first lens area, on average over all diffraction zones, a proportion of the main sub-zones in the diffraction zones is at least 94%, in particular at least 95%.
- the front and the back of the diffractive eye lens according to the invention are responsible for the optical imaging properties.
- Light can enter the lens of the eye on the front and leave it on the back.
- the main optical axis is perpendicular to an imaginary plane that is located between the front and the rear of the eye lens.
- a diffractive optical structure is to be understood as an interface between two media with different refractive indices (for example lens material and aqueous humor), which is designed in such a way that light is diffracted when passing through the interface and structurally interferes.
- the surface typically has edges and thus has a discontinuity in the slope of the interface at these edges (within the scope of the manufacturing tolerances and the tools used). If one considers the optical effect of an interface with a diffractive optical structure for light which is guided into the zeroth order of diffraction, the same optical effect can also be produced by an interface without a diffractive optical structure.
- Such an (imaginary) interface without a diffractive optical structure is referred to as a basic shape.
- the basic shape can correspond to an imaginary connection of local maxima (in a height profile) of the diffractive optical structure.
- the basic shape has an interface without a diffractive optical structure, the basic shape is the shape of the surface itself.
- the basic shapes of the front side and the rear side thus determine the refractive power that the diffractive eye lens has for light that is directed into the zeroth order of diffraction of the diffractive optical structure.
- one side (front side, rear side) of the eye lens which has a diffractive optical structure, can have one of the above-mentioned basic shapes, the diffractive optical structure is superimposed on this.
- Light that is directed into non-zero diffraction orders (n ⁇ O) is - as will be described below - subject to a refractive power which deviates from the refractive power of the basic shape.
- This refractive power (caused by the diffractive optical structure) is typically referred to as additive refractive power - also called "add power”.
- the diffractive optical structure has a first lens area which comprises a plurality of first diffraction zones which are arranged in a ring around the main optical axis of the eye lens.
- a lens area is to be understood as a circular or annular area of the lens.
- a lens area can also have several, non-contiguous, circular or circular areas or diffraction zones of the lens.
- the annular first diffraction zones of the first lens area can all be formed on the front side or all on the rear side. It can but there are also first flexion zones on both the front and the rear.
- the first lens area has a plurality of first diffraction zones. This means that there are at least two first diffraction zones. If light with a wavelength l strikes the at least two diffraction zones, the light can interfere between these diffraction zones. Constructive interference can occur if a phase shift of a multiple of the wavelength l qu ⁇ h ⁇ ; these are the diffraction orders.
- a positive diffraction order is present when the difference in the optical path lengths between a diffraction zone arranged further outside and a diffraction zone further inside is positive. Due to the ring-shaped arrangement of the diffraction zones around the main optical axis, a refractive power can be assigned to each of the various diffraction orders.
- the area or size of the diffraction zones determines the distances between the diffraction orders and thus the distances between the refractive powers of the lens. These distances become larger as the area of the diffraction zones becomes smaller.
- the diffraction zones generate additive refractive powers compared to the refractive power of the basic shape of the diffractive lens.
- the main sub-zone - or also echellette zone - of each first diffraction zone typically has a curvature - that is, a second spatial derivative of the interface other than zero.
- the curvature is preferably constant and the main sub-zone is, for example, spherically shaped.
- the curvature can also vary spatially; the main sub-zone is, for example, aspherical in shape.
- a main sub-zone always has a continuous (steady) curvature.
- phase sub-zone includes areas of the diffraction zone that deviate from the continuous (steady) curvature of the main sub-zone; This also includes the influence of tools on the topography. In the height profile, a main sub-zone and a phase sub-zone continuously merge.
- the curvature is by definition in the transition between one Main sub-zone and a phase sub-zone discontinuous.
- the slope can also be discontinuous in the transition if the height profile has an edge. This can occur in particular at the transition from a phase sub-zone of one diffraction zone to a main sub-zone of another diffraction zone.
- the task of the phase sub-zone is to generate an optical path length difference between two main sub-zones.
- the optical path length difference is thus linked to the profile depth of the phase sub-zone (extension in the direction of the main optical axis) and the refractive indices in front of and behind the interface.
- the optical path length difference t determines the relative maximum intensities in the individual diffraction orders (or the assigned additive refractive powers).
- maximum intensities of (2 / p) 2 40.5% result. 100% corresponds to the maximum intensity of a diffraction-limited "normal" refractive lens (same refractive power and with the same diameter).
- the refractive power of the zeroth diffraction order dominates optical path length difference greater than half a wavelength and less than three half wavelengths (Kl 2 ⁇ t ⁇ K- 3/2), the refractive power of the + 1th order of diffraction has the greatest relative intensity Optical path length differences between adjacent main sub-zones thus determine how much light is directed into which diffraction order and thus which additive refractive power has how much intensity.
- the diffractive optical structure in the first lens area is designed in such a way that, for a design wavelength, a significant diffraction efficiency for optical path length differences between the first Main sub-zones of more than one wavelength l occurs.
- the design wavelength is to be understood as the light wavelength for which the diffractive eye lens is to be optimized; For the design wavelength, a sharp image can thus be generated on the retina in interaction with one eye.
- a significant diffraction efficiency is present when at least 8% of the maximum intensity of a diffraction-limited “normal” refractive lens is achieved for the diffraction order in question, preferably at least 10% of the maximum intensity and particularly preferably at least 15% of the maximum intensity.
- the diffractive eye lens thus has a significant intensity for a refractive power which corresponds to an order of diffraction that is greater than or equal to the first order of diffraction. This advantageously allows compensation for longitudinal color errors.
- the size or area of a diffraction zone can be determined, for example, by projecting the diffraction zone onto a plane perpendicular to the main optical axis.
- the area of the diffraction zone on this projection plane corresponds to the area or size of the diffraction zone.
- the areas of a main sub-zone and a phase sub-zone can be defined in the same way.
- a zone size is the umbrella term for the sizes of the diffraction zone, main sub-zone and phase sub-zone.
- the area A zone results from the difference between the squares of the maximum and minimum radius of the zone multiplied by the circle number p:
- main sub-zone For one / th flexion zone (BZ), main sub-zone (HUZ) or
- N 1, 2, ... N and N is the number of zones in the lens area; we have N> 2.
- the minimum radius equals zero in the above formulas.
- the area proportion of the main sub-zones in the first diffraction zones can be centered over all first diffraction zones in the first lens area.
- the averaging can be formed, for example, using an average of the ratios of the zone sizes:
- the first lens area is therefore designed in such a way that, on average, over all diffraction zones, a proportion of the main sub-zones of the Diffraction zones a value of at least 94% is achieved, in particular at least 95%.
- the manufacturing process of the diffractive eye lens must be adapted to this.
- the tool used must be selected accordingly.
- the diffractive optical structure of a diffractive eye lens is typically produced in a turning process.
- a diamond tool moves relative to a rotating diffractive eye lens blank and removes material from the eye lens blank to produce the eye lens.
- the larger the radius of the diamond tool the more material can be removed from the eye lens at the same time (or per revolution of the eye lens blank).
- the smaller the radius of the diamond tool the less material can be removed from the eye lens at the same time (or per revolution of the eye lens blank).
- a limit is set to the area proportion of the main sub-zones, which results from the geometry or the topography or the height profile of the diffraction zone (or main sub-zone and phase sub-zone). Since the phase sub-zones include the areas of the diffraction zone that deviate from the continuous (steady) curvature of the main sub-zone, the influences of tools on the topography are also included there. The choice of the tool radius is thus linked to the size of a phase sub-zone.
- the diffractive eye lens according to the invention thus makes it possible to improve the visual properties of the eye lens by reducing the halo.
- the diffractive structure comprises at least one second lens area with a second, annular diffraction zone surrounding the main optical axis of the eye lens. It can be a single or several second diffraction zones. Every second diffraction zone has a further main sub-zone and a further phase sub-zone. Furthermore, for the second lens area, on average over all second diffraction zones, a proportion of the further main sub-zones in the second diffraction zones is at least 94%, in particular at least 95%. Finally, the first lens area and the second lens area differ in at least one of the following optical parameters: an optical path length difference, a zone size.
- the second lens area (or further lens areas) can be located on the same or on the opposite side of the diffractive eye lens as the first lens area. It is also possible for both (or further) lens areas to be arranged on both sides of the eye lens.
- the proportion of the further main sub-zones in the second diffraction zones of at least 94% - averaged over all second diffraction zones - ensures that the visual properties of the eye lens are also improved for the at least one second lens area by reducing the halo.
- the mentioned optical parameters of the lens areas make it possible to influence the diffraction efficiency as well as the additive refractive power. By using more than one lens area, further foci can thus advantageously be generated by the diffractive eye lens.
- the first lens area has at least two first ones Diffraction zones, between which at least one second diffraction zone of the second lens area is arranged, viewed in the radial direction about the main optical axis.
- the first diffraction zones and the second diffraction zones are arranged in an alternating sequence.
- At least one diffraction zone of each further lens area can be located between the at least two first diffraction zones in the radial direction.
- the optical effects of the two (or more) lens areas can be achieved for variable pupil diameters of the eye. If, for example, the pupil contracts in bright ambient light and thus only has a small diameter, there can still be diffraction zones of all lens areas within this diameter. The same applies to dark ambient light with a large eye pupil. In this way, the optical effect of the diffractive eye lens advantageously remains independent of the adaptation of the eye.
- the respective proportion is preferably at least 95% in each case.
- a diffractive eye lens configured in this way has a further reduced secondary halo, since the diffraction of light into negative diffraction orders is additionally reduced.
- the diffractive optical structure in the first and / or the second lens area is designed in such a way that no significant diffraction efficiency occurs in negative diffraction orders at the design wavelength. In particular, there is no significant diffraction efficiency in diffraction orders less than or equal to zero. This means that for all diffraction orders smaller than the +1 th diffraction order no significant diffraction efficiencies occur.
- the diffractive eye lens is therefore advantageously a pure diffraction lens, since the zero order of diffraction has only a low intensity.
- the term “no significant diffraction efficiency” or “non-significant diffraction efficiency” means that a maximum of 8% of the maximum intensity of a diffraction-limited “normal” refractive lens is achieved for the diffraction order in question, preferably a maximum of 5% of the maximum intensity and particularly preferably a maximum 1% of the maximum intensity.
- a significant diffraction efficiency as defined above, and a non-significant diffraction efficiency defined here, there can be an intermediate range in which the diffraction efficiency is neither significant nor insignificant.
- the diffractive eye lens Due to the property that the diffractive eye lens has no significant diffraction efficiency for negative or the zeroth diffraction orders, it is possible to reduce the total longitudinal error of the combination of eye lens, cornea and refractive media by compensation.
- Main refractive powers occur with a diffraction efficiency beyond a non-significant diffraction efficiency for diffraction orders greater than or equal to or greater than zero. This ensures that no longitudinal color error caused by negative diffraction orders increases the natural longitudinal color error of the eye and thus leads to a perceptible deterioration in contrast in the case of polychromatic illumination. Rather, for example, only the +1 th diffraction order can have a significant diffraction efficiency (in addition to a further, higher one Diffraction order).
- the diffractive eye lens enables the color aberrations of the eye to be corrected, since its longitudinal chromatic aberration in a positive diffraction order can reduce or even completely compensate for the natural longitudinal chromatic aberration of the eye. In this way, a deterioration in contrast that is perceptible to the patient in the case of polychromatic illumination can be reduced.
- the diffractive eye lens is designed such that a significant diffraction efficiency occurs at the design wavelength for at least two orders of diffraction, in particular for at least three orders of diffraction.
- bifocal, trifocal (or multifocal) eye lenses can be realized. It is particularly advantageous if, in addition, no significant diffraction efficiency occurs for negative diffraction orders or diffraction orders less than or equal to zero. In this case it is a bifocal (trifocal, multifocal) eye lens, which at the same time allows a reduction of longitudinal color aberrations.
- the far focus can be assigned to the lowest diffraction order with significant diffraction efficiency - for example the +1 th diffraction order.
- the diffractive eye lens according to the invention thus makes it possible to reduce the flalos while simultaneously providing several focal positions as a bifocal, trifocal or multifocal lens.
- the diffractive eye lens is characterized in that a maximum diffraction efficiency in a defocus area is less than 0.3%, in particular less than 0.15%.
- the defocus range extends at least from -45D to -15D compared to the refractive power of the far focus, in particular from at least -60D to -10D.
- the lowest refractive power with significant diffraction efficiency can be assigned to the far focus.
- Light that is guided with even lower additive refractive powers can never be sharply focused on the retina; it is shown defocused.
- This area of the refractive powers becomes the defocus area called.
- the defocus range extends at least from -43D additive refractive power to -13D additive refractive power, in particular from -58D additive refractive power to -8D additive refractive power .
- the secondary halo is caused in particular by such light that is directed towards the retina with such (low) refractive powers that precisely compensate for the refractive power of the implanted eye; the positive contribution of the implanted eye (especially the cornea) is in the same order of magnitude as the negative contribution through a negative refractive power (through the diffractive eye lens.
- the diffraction efficiency in the defocus area must not exceed a limit value.
- the limit value can be the above-described maximum diffraction efficiency that occurs in the defocus area.
- the diffractive eye lens is characterized in that an integrated diffraction efficiency in a defocus area is less than 6%, in particular less than 2%.
- the defocus range extends at least from -45D to -15D compared to the refractive power of the far focus, in particular from at least -60D to -10D.
- the limit values mentioned thus relate the diffraction efficiencies integrated over the defocus area to the diffraction efficiencies integrated over all additive refractive powers that occur.
- the design wavelength lies in a central spectral range of a brightness sensitivity curve.
- the design wavelength is between 530 nm and 570 nm, preferably 550 nm or 546 nm.
- the brightness sensitivity curve describes the sensitivity of the human eye as a function of the wavelength of light.
- the brightness sensitivity curve for daylight (photopic vision) is preferably used.
- a brightness sensitivity curve for twilight (mesopic vision) or night (scotopic vision) can be used.
- a central spectral range of the brightness sensitivity curve is to be understood as meaning those wavelengths at which the brightness sensitivity is at least 30% of the maximum brightness sensitivity, preferably at least 50%, particularly preferably at least 70%.
- a design wavelength between 530 nm and 570 nm is particularly advantageous since the brightness sensitivity in daylight is more than 80% here.
- the use of a design wavelength selected in this way is therefore particularly suitable for daylight.
- the optimization of the diffractive eye lens for a design wavelength in accordance with the specified specifications advantageously leads to the refractive power (or the refractive powers in the case of a bifocal or multifocal eye lens) being optimized in accordance with a high spectral sensitivity to brightness of the eye.
- the secondary halo is particularly effectively reduced for those wavelengths to which the human eye is sensitive. This leads to a further improvement in the visual properties of the eye lens under everyday environmental conditions.
- all the diffraction zones of a lens area are identical Zone size. Additionally or alternatively, all diffraction zones of a lens area have the same optical path length difference.
- the diffraction zones of the respective lens area have the same zone size or optical path length differences.
- the zone size or the optical path length difference of the first lens area can, however, differ from the zone size or the optical path length difference of a further lens area.
- the diffractive eye lens is made from a biocompatible material and is suitable for implantation in the eye.
- biocompatible material ensures that no rejection reaction of the eye can occur when the diffractive eye lens is implanted in an eye.
- the diffractive eye lens is a contact lens, an intraocular lens or an intra-corneal lens.
- a second aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing a diffractive eye lens according to one of the configurations described above.
- the size of the tool used in the manufacture of the diffractive eye lens influences the proportion of area that a main sub-zone can have in a diffraction zone. If the tool radius is too large, the required proportion p of 94% or 95% cannot be produced.
- the first factor corresponds to the proportion of the width of the
- Phase subzone ⁇ 5 Phase subzone ⁇ 5 ; on the width of the diffraction zone D (.
- the second factor is always greater than 1, since r max HUZ i > r min HUZ i ⁇ 1 - p.
- the width of the phase sub-zone ⁇ 5 can typically not be less than the radius of the tool used to position the / th flexion zone.
- the method according to the invention for setting a diffractive eye lens comprises the method step of providing an eye lens blank. Furthermore, the method has the step of removing material from the eye lens blank to produce a diffraction zone using a tool. Typically, the processing takes place in one
- a tool moves relative to the eye lens blank and removes material from the eye lens blank; the eye lens blank typically rotates in the process.
- the tool used has a radius that corresponds to a maximum of 6% of the width of the flexion zone, preferably a maximum of 5%.
- the tool used (temporarily, for the creation of the flexion zone) is suitable for producing the required proportion of 94% (or 95%) area of the main sub-zone in the flexion zone.
- Tools with other radii can be used to manufacture other parts of the diffractive lens of the eye. A tool can therefore be changed while the diffractive eye lens is being lowered.
- the removal of material for the production of each diffraction zone is preferably carried out using a tool which meets the requirements for a maximum radius for the corresponding diffraction zone.
- the absolute width of a phase sub-zone decreases with increasing radial distance of the diffraction zone from the main optical axis.

- FIG. 1a shows a perspective illustration of a first exemplary embodiment of a diffractive eye lens 1 according to the invention, which is designed as an intraocular lens (IOL).
- the eye lens comprises a front side 10 and a rear side 15 as well as a haptic 20.
- the eye lens 1 is held in the eye by means of the haptic 20.
- the eye lens 1 can be folded and inserted into an eye through a small incision.
- the front side 10 and the rear side 15 are responsible for the optical imaging properties of the eye lens 1.
- a main optical axis A is perpendicular to an imaginary plane which is located between the front side 10 and the rear side 15 of the eye lens 1.
- the exemplary front side 10 faces the cornea in the eye, whereas the rear side 15 faces away from this cornea.
- 1b shows a perspective illustration of a further exemplary embodiment of a diffractive eye lens 1 designed as an intraocular lens. It differs from the embodiment in FIG. 1 a in that it has a different haptic 20.
- flaptics 20 can also be provided.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the flalos for a diffractive, multifocal eye lens 1.
- the illustration shows the light distribution that a point light source generates on a retina of the eye in which a diffractive eye lens 1 is implanted.
- the point light source is located in the distance and the eye lens 1 is designed in such a way that the implanted eye is corrected for the distance.
- the image of the point light source on the retina is assigned to the horizontal and vertical coordinates (0 °, 0 °).
- This image point on the retina is surrounded by a primary halo 60, which in the schematic illustration has a diameter of approximately 1 ° (object angle).
- the cause of the inevitable primary halo is the simultaneous focus overlap of the diffraction orders used.
- a further false light zone which is referred to as secondary halo 70, adjoins the primary halo 60 in the radial direction (at larger object angles in the horizontal and vertical directions).
- the causes of the secondary halo 70 are unused and thus undesired diffraction orders of the diffractive eye lens 1.
- the secondary halo 70 extends radially to object angles of slightly more than 2 °. Light that contributes to the secondary halo 70 can also be diffracted onto locations on the retina where the primary halo 60 is located. However, the primary halo 60 outshines this light.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of a partial section of a lens cross section of a diffractive eye lens 1 according to a further exemplary embodiment.
- the sectional plane shown contains the main optical axis A and shows a section of the profile of the front side 10 of the diffractive eye lens 1.
- the eye lens 1 has a first lens area 30. In the example shown, this comprises four Diffraction zones 32. Let these diffraction zones 32 be arranged rotationally symmetrically about the main optical axis A.
- Each diffraction zone 32 comprises a main sub-zone 34 and a phase sub-zone 36. In the example shown, all main sub-zones 34 have the same curvature. Alternatively, the main sub-zones can also have different curvatures.
- Phase sub-zones 36 are arranged between the main sub-zones 34. Their curvature deviates from the curvature of the respective main sub-zones 34. The transitions between main sub-zones 34 and phase sub-zones 36 of a diffraction zone 32 have discontinuous curvatures.
- the task of the phase sub-zones is to generate an optical path length difference between the respective main sub-zones 34 for a design wavelength.
- the size or area of the individual diffraction zones 32, main sub-zones 34 and phase sub-zones 36 results from the projection onto a plane perpendicular to the main optical axis A. This is shown in FIG. 3 as a line with the reference numeral 55.
- the radial extent (minimum radius and maximum radius) of the zones can be read off on the projection plane 55 and converted into an area.
- the proportion of the main sub-zone 34 in the diffraction zones 32 is at least 94%. It should be noted that, to better illustrate the definition of the various zones, a smaller proportion of the area of the main sub-zones 34 is shown at the diffraction zones 32.
- the basic shape 50 of the front side 10 of the diffractive eye lens 1 is shown as a dotted line. In the example shown, this corresponds to the imaginary connection of the local maxima in the height profile of the diffractive optical structure.
- the first lens area 30 has two first diffraction zones 32. These each comprise a main sub-zone 34 and a phase sub-zone 36.
- the second Lens area 40 has two second diffraction zones 42. These likewise each include a main sub-zone 44 and a phase sub-zone 46.
- the lens regions 30, 40 are arranged on the front side 10 of the diffractive eye lens 1.
- the first diffraction zones 32 and second diffraction zones 42 alternate in the radial direction with respect to the main optical axis A.
- the lens areas 30, 40 have optical path length differences.
- the two lens areas 30, 40 could also have different zone sizes. In this way, additional focus positions for a multifocal, diffractive eye lens 1 are made possible.
- FIG. 5a shows a schematic illustration of a partial section of the front side 10 of a lens cross section of a diffractive eye lens 1, taking into account a diamond tool 90 used for production.
- the section for a diffraction zone 32 for a radial section as in FIG. 3 is shown.
- the diffraction zone 32 has a main sub-zone 34 and a phase sub-zone 36.
- the main sub-zone 34 has a curvature.
- the phase sub-zone 36 comprises all areas of the diffraction zone 32 which deviate from the continuous (steady) curvature of the main sub-zone 34.
- a phase subzone 36 with an ideal shape 80 could be produced.
- the ideal shape 80 could then - as shown - have no curves.
- a tool 90 with a finite radius is used.
- the profile of the tool 90 is shown as a line made up of points and lines.
- the tool radius results in a real shape 85 of the phase sub-zone 36, which is drawn as a solid line.
- phase sub-zones 36 can also be produced for smaller radii of the diamond tool 90. If, for example, the profile depth of a phase sub-zone to be finished is greater than the width of the phase sub-zone, As a rule, the radius of the tool limits how small the width of the phase subzone can be. This is shown in Figure 5b.
- the diamond tool 90 used here has a tool radius half as large as the diamond tool 90 used in FIG. 5a.
- the phase subzone can be significantly smaller here than in the example according to FIG. 5a. When using a diamond tool 90 with a smaller tool radius, a larger number of revolutions of the lens blank may be necessary to produce the diffraction zone.
- Fig. 5c a schematic representation of a partial section of the front side 10 of a lens cross section of a further diffractive eye lens 1 is shown.
- the sub-phase zone 36 is just as large as the sub-phase zone 36 from FIG. 5a. Due to the smaller radius of the diamond tool 90 used here, however, it is possible that the real phase subzone 85 (almost) corresponds to the ideal phase subzone 80 from FIG. 5a. Since not only the phase deviation t generated by the phase sub-zones 36 but also the shape of the phase sub-zone 36 influences the diffraction efficiency, it is particularly important to take into account the influence of the radius of the diamond tool 90 in the manufacture of a diffractive eye lens 1.
- FIG. 6 shows a diagram for the simulated radial profile of the phase profile of a trifocal, diffractive eye lens 1, which is designed as an IOL, which is generated by the diffractive optical structure.
- the diagram shows the effect of an exemplary embodiment with two lens areas 30, 40 and with four diffraction zones 32, 42, which are arranged rotationally symmetrical about the main optical axis A.
- the distance to the main optical axis A is given in mm on the horizontal axis.
- the first first diffraction zone 32 of the first lens area 30 extends up to a radius of about 0.75 mm
- the first second diffraction zone 42 of the second lens area 40 extends from about 0.75 mm to about 1.08 mm
- the second first diffraction zone 32 of the first lens area 30 extends from about 1,08mm to about 1,32mm.
- the second second diffraction zone 42 of the second lens area 40 adjoins the second, first diffraction zone 32.
- the simulations were carried out for a radius of an eye pupil of 1.5mm.
- the second second diffraction zone 42 extends beyond this radius.
- the phase deviation is plotted on the vertical axis in multiples of the design wavelength l.
- the first three diffraction zones 32, 42 generate a phase shift of approximately 1 4l or approximately 1 2l at their respective outer edge. Due to the curvature of the main sub-zones 34, 44 of the diffraction zones 32, 42, the radial course of the phase deviation also exhibits curvatures in sections. The sections between the curved portions are to be assigned to the phase sub-zones 36, 46. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the proportion of the main sub-zones 34, 44 in the flexion zones 32, 42 for all four flexion zones 32, 42 is 94% in each case.
- phase sub-zones 36, 46 In the size of the phase sub-zones 36, 46 and the simulations of the phase deviation, it was taken into account that the profile of the diffractive eye lens 1 was generated with a diamond tool 90 with a tool radius that is smaller than the width of the second first phase sub-zone 36.
- FIG. 7 shows a diagram for the simulated diffraction efficiency as a function of an additive refractive power (compared to the refractive power of the basic shape of the diffractive eye lens) in a useful area for a trifocal, diffractive eye lens 1 according to the embodiment discussed in FIG. 6.
- the useful range includes the range of additive refractive powers, in which a significant diffraction efficiency occurs.
- the additive refractive power is shown in the diagram on the horizontal axis in diopters (D).
- the diffraction efficiency is plotted on the vertical axis.
- the value 1 corresponds to the maximum intensity of a diffraction-limited, "normal" refractive lens (same refractive power and with the same diameter) is assigned to the far focus; about 50% diffraction efficiency is assigned to this.
- Another maximum occurs with an additive refractive power of about 3D and has a diffraction efficiency of about 0.16 (about 16% Diffraction efficiency); this diffraction maximum supports the vision at a middle distance (intermediate vision).
- a third maximum occurs at an additive power of about 3.7D and has a diffraction efficiency of about 0.33 (about 33% diffraction efficiency); this diffraction maximum supports the vision at shorter viewing distances.
- the exemplary embodiment shown is therefore a trifocal, diffractive eye lens 1.
- the diffractive eye lens 1 is a so-called multi-order phase plate (MOD optics).
- MOD optics multi-order phase plate
- FIG. 8a shows a diagram for the simulated diffraction efficiency as a function of an additive refractive power for a useful area and a defocus area for a trifocal, diffractive eye lens according to the prior art.
- the horizontal axis shows the additive refractive power in diopters.
- a section from -60D to + 10D is shown here.
- the diffraction efficiency is plotted on the vertical axis.
- the vertical axis is scaled logarithmically here. In this way, low diffraction efficiencies can also be represented.
- the diffraction efficiency shown here as a function of the additive refractive power corresponds to the properties of a diffractive eye lens in which the proportion of the main sub-zones 34 in the diffraction zones 32 is only 88%.
- the diffraction efficiencies in a useful range between 1.5D and 4.5D correspond (approximately) to those shown in FIG. 7 for an exemplary embodiment; the corresponding range of the additive refractive powers is marked with a dashed box in FIG. 8a.
- the diffractive eye lens according to the state of the art shown here behaves (approximately) like an eye lens 1 according to the invention about -57D to about -12D compared to the refractive power of the far focus, which is about 2D), this example according to the prior art, however, has diffraction efficiencies that are up to 0.6% be. Increased diffraction efficiencies occur in particular between -30D and -15D. These negative addition refractive power of the stray light largely compensate for the refractive power of the cornea and the power for the distant focus of the diffractive eye lens. Thus, due to the logarithmic retinal brightness sensitivity, they become noticeable as a secondary halo.
- the result in the example shown according to the prior art is a value of about 8% compared to the diffraction efficiencies integrated over all additive refractive powers that occur.
- FIG. 8b shows a diagram for the simulated diffraction efficiency as a function of an additive refractive power for a useful area and a defocus area for an exemplary embodiment of a trifocal, diffractive eye lens 1 according to the invention.
- the representations of the horizontal and vertical axes correspond to those in FIG. 8a.
- the diffraction efficiency shown as a function of the additive refractive power corresponds here to the properties of a diffractive eye lens 1, in which the proportion of the main sub-zones 34, 44 in the diffraction zones 32, 42 is 94% in each case.
- the diffraction efficiencies in a useful area correspond to those shown in FIG. 7 for an exemplary embodiment.
- this exemplary embodiment For a defocus area, which is marked here by a dotted box and extends from -55D to -10D, this exemplary embodiment has diffraction efficiencies that are a maximum of only 0.25%. If the secondary halo is evaluated by integrating the diffraction efficiencies in the defocus area, then in the exemplary embodiment shown a value of approximately 5% results compared to the diffraction efficiencies integrated over all the additive refractive powers that occur. The secondary halo is thus significantly reduced by the eye lens according to the invention.
- FIG. 8c shows a diagram for the simulated diffraction efficiency as a function of an additive refractive power for a useful area and a defocus area for a further embodiment of a trifocal according to the invention, diffractive eye lens 1 shown.
- the diffraction efficiency shown as a function of the additive refractive power corresponds here to the properties of a diffractive eye lens 1 in which the proportion of the main sub-zones 34, 44 in the diffraction zones 32, 42 is 98% in each case.
- the diffraction efficiencies in the useful area again correspond to those shown in FIG. 7 for an exemplary embodiment. In the defocus range from -55D to -10D, this exemplary embodiment has diffraction efficiencies that are less than 0.13%.
- the result in the exemplary embodiment shown is a value of only 1.4% compared to the diffraction efficiencies integrated over all the additive refractive powers that occur.
- the secondary halo is thus further significantly reduced by the eye lens according to the invention.
- the result is a reduction in the retinal intensity of the halo by an order of magnitude compared to the prior art according to FIG. 8a.
- a description of a device relating to method features applies analogously to the corresponding method with regard to these features, while method features correspondingly represent functional features of the device described.
