While you may have achieved visual clarity from your previous contact lenses when they corrected your astigmatism or myopia, you are unlikely to have the same visual acuity with bifocals. However, your vision should be clear enough for most tasks. Pros: For people who enjoyed contact lenses for...
In the past, if you woretoric soft contacts for astigmatism, you had to make a decision sometime after age 40, when you also began to have trouble reading due topresbyopia: Either start wearing reading glasses over your contacts or switch to bifocal rigid gas permeable contact lenses. For m...
Progressive lenses can correct any mild residual astigmatism or other refractive error not fully corrected by your contacts. For this reason, eyeglasses with progressive lenses may give you sharper vision for specific activities like night driving. ...
Such lenses also can be used to correct astigmatisms by providing their posterior surface with a toric optic zone.US5608471 1995年7月3日 1997年3月4日 Westcon Contact Lens Co., Inc. Soft, bifocal contact lensUS5608471 Jul 3, 1995 Mar 4, 1997 Westcon Contact Lens Co., Inc. Soft, ...
Soft lenses can correct most optical defects, including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Bifocal lenses are also available. They can be colored with either transparent hues or opaque patterns to change apparent eye color or to mask malformations of the cornea or iris. They are available for ...
Optically correctable errors in image formation, in particular far-sightedness (i.e., hyperopia) andastigmatism, are increasingly likely with age and contribute to the prevalent use of corrective lenses in older observers. Hyperopia results when the optic media are weak relative to eyeball length,...
The optical principles for scleral lenses are identical to corneal RGP and hybrid contact lenses, as corneal astigmatism (regular or irregular) and high-order aberrations are partially or completely compensated by the tear film reservoir between the lens and the cornea. However, SL wearers and manu...
lenses. The contact lens of the present invention is particularly adapted to correct for near vision or distant vision; but it also may be adapted to correct for astigmatism. For example, the posterior and/or anterior curves may be toric curves, bitoric curves, or lenticular for aphakes. ...
however with translation type bifocal contact lenses is that in the absence of external forces such as those caused by interference of eyelids, a lens placed on the eye will tend to move to a position of minimum potential energy. This process is commonly referred to as “centration”. Potentia...
