Description

EMPLOYING DIFFRACTIVE STRUCTURE TO REDUCE SOFT
CONTACT LENS VARIATION
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
1. Field of the Disclosure
The present disclosure relates to ophthalmic devices, such as wearable lenses, including contact lenses, scleral lens, RGP lens, implantable lenses, including inlays and onlays and any other type of device comprising optical components, and more particularly, to ophthalmic devices having diffractive structure.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
A typical soft contact lens surface includes several circular and/or annular zones. The center part of the lens is its optic zone, which offers patient ocular visual
corrections. Beyond the optic zone is a junction zone, which actually is a quick (or sharp) thickness variation region connecting the optic zone area to lens peripheral area. Lens peripheral area is mainly designed to provide optimized lens stability and comfort.
Within the optic zone, in order to achieve the designed lens power, a thickness variation is required. Within optic zone, rays were refracted with different angles across the optic zone region and thus visual correction can be achieved. However, for certain lenses (e.g., stock keeping units (SKU) having a designed target optical power for positive and/or negative correction power), the thickness variation across the optic zone area introduces either very thick edge thickness (for larger negative SKU lens) or very thin edge thickness (for large positive SKU lens). Beyond optic zone, a junction region is required to connect the lens optic zone edge with lens peripheral area. With very thin or very thick optic zone edge thickness, a sharp junction is required. The sharp junction region is not easy to be fabricated in manufacturing and not comfort for patient. Thus, minimize the thickness variation is critical to reduce the sharp junction area. With minimized lens thickness variation across the optic zone, lens refraction power was also reduced. For higher SKU lens, the reduced thickness variation cannot satisfy the requirement for optical power correction.
Improvements are needed.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Ophthalmic devices may include implantable device and/or wearable devices, such as contact lenses. Conventional contact lenses comprise polymeric structures with specific shapes to correct various vision problems. The ophthalmic devices may comprise an optic zone and a peripheral zone disposed adjacent the optic zone. The optic zone may function to provide one or more of vision correction, vision
enhancement, other vision-related functionality, mechanical support, or even a void to permit clear vision. In accordance with the present disclosure, the optic zone may comprise a variable optic element configured to provide enhanced vision at near and distant ranges based on signals sensed from the ciliary muscle. The variable-optic element may comprise any suitable device for changing the focal length of the lens or the refractive power of the lens based upon activation signals from the sensing system described herein. For example, the variable optic element may be as simple as a piece of optical grade plastic incorporated into the lens with the ability to have its spherical curvature changed.
As a non-limiting example, soft contact lens power may be achieved through lens thickness variation across its optic zone (OZ) diameter. For a negative powered lens, lens edge thickness may be larger than that of the center. While a positive powered lens may have a thicker center thickness compared to the edge. As shown in Figures 1 A and 1 B for negative and positive respectively, with higher power (e.g., higher target SKU optical power), the larger thickness difference existed between lens center and its OZ edge. Immediately beyond the OZ edge, a mechanical junction area may be used to mitigate lens thickness from its optical edge to a thickness, which is optimized for mechanical stability and lens comfort, for example manipulating thickness of the lens in the junction area for comfort. Example OZ diameters for various lenses (SKU) having various optical powers (D) are shown for illustration in FIG. 9. Example junction sizes for various lenses (SKU) having various optical powers (D) are shown for illustration in FIG. 10. As an example, a significant lens thickness variation indicates a shaper junction region in order to transfer the thickness from OZ edge to the mechanical zone.
However, precision manufacturing of the sharp optical junction is difficult, and a sharp junction zone will also significantly affect lens wearing comfort.
In the present disclosure, diffractive structure disposed at or adjacent a lens OZ edge may be used to minimize the lens thickness difference between its center and the edge of the lens OZ. Instead of fully relying on the optical refraction (which is due to thickness variation), strong optical power (e.g., stronger than -4 for minus lens or stronger than 1 D for plus lens) can also be generated by diffractive structures. Thus, the lenses of the present disclosure may minimize the overall thickness variation across its OZ and may minimize the sharp junction zone. Illustrative lens designs with incorporated diffractive optics are shown in Figure 1 C and 1 D for negative and positive lens respectively. With diffractive pattern at OZ peripheral area, overall lens thickness variation may be optimized.
Figure 1 indicates an example of a lens with incorporated diffraction pattern at the lens edge from 2 to 6mm radius range. As shown by the lens power in Figure 2B, total lens power is -9D, refractive power is -3 D, and diffractive power is -6D. As shown, two-thirds of the lens power is contributed by the diffraction patterns. Figure 2A indicates the designed surface shape of the diffraction pattern.
Figure 3 indicates the optical performance of the designed lens with -3D lens power. In general, the overall theoretical diffraction efficiency is around 99%. Figure 3A and 3B indicates the through focus MTF and visual acuity (VA) of the designed lens with 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 mm pupil size respectively (without patient ocular accommodation). About 20/20 vision performance was observed for patients with -3D refraction error.
Figure 4 illustrates the non-uniform distribution of refractive and diffractive power across contact OZ area. As an illustrative example, a single vision lens has a
SKU/optical power of -3D. In one embodiment of the design, the diffractive power and refractive power distribution was listed in the table of Figure 4B. As an example, within the OZ area, typically diffractive powers are not uniformly distributed across the whole OZ area. As shown in Figure 4A, at the OZ center, refractive power dominant the total lens power while at contact lens edge diffractive power play a major role. Across the overall OZ zone, total lens power was maintained.
Figure 5 illustrates a plot of OZ diameter vs. optical power, where the OZ diameter of regular refractive optical design (line) and combined diffractive and refractive lens design (dotted line). As shown, the combined diffractive and refractive lens design of the present disclosure minimizes variations in OZ diameter across a spectrum of optical powers/SKUs.
Figure 6 illustrates center thickness vs. optical power of lenses with regular refractive optical design (line) and combined diffractive and refractive lens design (dotted line). As shown, the combined diffractive and refractive lens design of the present disclosure minimizes variations in center thickness across a spectrum of optical powers/SKUs.
Besides center thickness variation, lens optic zone edge thickness also various depending on lens power/SKU in conventional designs. Figure 7 indicates the thickness profile of lenses with different power. The x-axis is lens radius and y-axis is thickness. Clearly, negative lenses have a thicker OZ edge thickness and plus lens has a thinner OZ edge thickness. In this design, -3D lens has the very smooth transition from optic zone to peripheral mechanical zone as shown by the arrow. With the proposed combined diffractive/refractive lens design, lens thickness variation profile can be uniform or substantially similar (or same or similar as the example -3D refractive lens which has shown to have desirable comfort) across the SKUs . In another embodiment, the diffractive power can also partially distributed across lens surface. As an example, a diffractive pattern may only cover a lens peripheral regions. If one defines the inner radius of diffraction pattern as Rdm, as shown in Figure 8, with inner radius equals zero, the lens OZ can have a uniform lens thickness. If a diffraction pattern only partially covers the lens surface (e.g., circumferentially), lens edge thickness will vary. But the amount of variation will still be less than a lens design without any diffraction pattern.
Figure 8 illustrates a schematic diagram of lens edge thickness vs. lens power/SKUs. When diffraction power covers the whole lens surface, edge thickness can be designed uniformly across SKUs. When diffraction pattern partially covers lens surface, there is an edge thickness variation (as shown by dashed line). Aspects:
