Abstract

An accommodating contact lens comprises a variable focus optical module, which comprises an optical chamber and one or more eyelid engaging chambers coupled to the optical chamber with one or more extensions comprising channels extending between the optical chamber and the more eyelid engaging chambers. The module may comprise a self- supporting module capable of supporting itself prior to placement in a contact lens to facilitate placement prior to encapsulation in the contact lens. The module may comprise one or more optically transmissive materials, provides improved optical correction, and can be combined with soft contact lens materials such as hydrogels. In many embodiments, the module comprises a support structure extending between an upper membrane and a lower membrane in order to provide variable optical power accurately with decreased amounts distortion and improved responsiveness to eyelid induced pressure.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This PCT application claims priority to the following patent application: US Serial No. 61 / 757,457, filed January 28, 2013, entitled "AnAccommodatingSoftContactLens," the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] The present invention generally relates to treating presbyopia. [0004] As the eye ages, the lens of the eye becomes less able to move to provide variable optical power, a condition known as presbyopia. In young subjects, the lens of the eye accommodates vision at various distances, enabling the user to see both near and distant objects in sharp focus. As the eye ages, however, the lens of the eye becomes less able to accommodate both near and distance vision, and subjects with good distance vision may require glasses to see near objects clearly. [0005] Existing methods and devices for treating presbyopia provide treatment that is less than ideal in at least some respects. Avail...
