Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Contact lenses are described with a corneal remodelling effect. This corneal remodelling effect is one or both of broad-area corneal remodelling and localised remodelling. The contact lenses may also have a refractive power. The refractive power may vary across the lens and for myopia may have increased power centrally. The increased power may be provided over a lens area that has increased thickness due to localised remodelling.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A contact lens for treating an eye with myopia, the contact lens having an optic zone comprising an area having a refractive first power, which corrects distance vision of the eye, and comprising a structural profile to effect flattening remodelling of the cornea of the eye when the contact lens is fitted to the eye; wherein the contact lens comprises a central zone and an outer zone surrounding the central zone, wherein the central zone has an incre…
