Ophthalmic lenses for high order aberration correction and processes for production of the lenses
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for producing a lens for a lens wearer comprising the steps of:
- a.) measuring the basic refractive prescription of the lens wearer;
b.) measuring the wavefront aberrations of the lens wearer by providing visual targets at at least a first and a second distance;
c.) converting the aberration measurements to a height difference; and
d.) using the basic refractive prescription and converted difference to provide an ophthalmic lens for the lens wearer.
