Abstract

A method of making corrective eyeglasses is disclosed. One embodiment is a method of making corrective eyeglasses. The method includes obtaining vision parameters of a patient's eyes, obtaining an eyeglass frame comprising at least one mounted optical element, and programming the optical element to define a pattern of refraction that is associated with the vision parameters.

Claims (24)

1. An optical element, the optical element comprising:

at least one lens configured to correct at least one low order aberration or one high order aberration, wherein the at least one low order aberration comprises one optical aberration selected from defocus and astigmatism or at least one high order aberration comprises at least one optical aberration selected from the group consisting of trefoil, coma, and spherical aberration, wherein the optical element comprises at least two elements having at least one of a layer of curable material or a film of curable material disposed therebetween.

2. The optical element of claim 1 , further comprising:

a frame configured to mount the at least one lens.

3. The optical element of claim 1 , further comprising:

an aberrometer, an autorefractor, or a phoropter configured to position the at least one lens in an optical path of a patient.

4. The optical element of claim 3 , wherein the at least one lens configured is utilized in receiving the vision parameters data.

5. The optical element of claim 1 , wherein the optical element is cured by selectively curing the curable layer or film of curable material to define the pattern of refraction, wherein selectively curing comprises exposing the layer or film of curable material to a two dimensional grayscale pattern of radiation.

6. An optical element, the optical element comprising:

at least one lens configured to correct at least one low order aberration and one high order aberration, wherein the at least one low order aberration comprises one optical aberration selected from defocus and astigmatism and at least one high order aberration comprises at least one optical aberration selected from the group consisting of trefoil, coma, and spherical abberation, wherein the optical element comprises at least two elements having at least one of a layer of curable material or a film of curable material disposed therebetween.

7. The optical element of claim 6 , further comprising:

a frame configured to mount the at least one lens.

8. The optical element of claim 6 , further comprising:

an aberrometer, an autorefractor, or a phoropter configured to position the at least one lens in an optical path of a patient.

9. The optical element of claim 8 , wherein the at least one lens configured is utilized in receiving the vision parameters data.

10. The optical element of claim 6 , wherein the optical element is cured by selectively curing the curable layer or film of curable material to define the pattern of refraction, wherein selectively curing comprises exposing the layer or film of curable material to a two dimensional grayscale pattern of radiation.

11. An optical element, the optical element comprising:

at least one lens configured to correct at least one high order aberration, wherein the at least at least one high order aberration comprises at least one optical aberration selected from the group consisting of trefoil, coma, and spherical aberration, wherein the optical element comprises at least two elements having at least one of a layer of curable material or a film of curable material disposed therebetween.

12. The optical element of claim 11 , further comprising:

a frame configured to mount the at least one lens.

13. The optical element of claim 11 , further comprising:

an aberrometer, an autorefractor, or a phoropter configured to position the at least one lens in an optical path of a patient.

14. The optical element of claim 13 , wherein the at least one lens configured is utilized in receiving the vision parameters data.

15. The optical element of claim 11 , wherein the optical element is cured by selectively curing the curable layer or film of curable material to define the pattern of refraction, wherein selectively curing comprises exposing the layer or film of curable material to a two dimensional grayscale pattern of radiation.
