Multifocal lens having an optical add power progression, and a system and method of providing same
An apparatus, system and method including an ophthalmic lens having an optic with an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and an optical axis. The ophthalmic lens further includes a first region having a first optical power and a second region having a second optical power. The ophthalmic lens further includes a third region having an optical power that progresses from the first optical power to the second optical power. The progression may be uniform or non-uniform. Each of the first, second and progression optical power may include a base power and an optical add power. Each of the first, second and progression regions may provide a first focus, a second focus and a plurality of third foci, respectively.
1. A treatment method comprising:
assessing, with a biometric reader, biometric measurements of a subject eye;
designing, based on the biometric measurements, a set of intraocular lenses each having the same base power and optical add power, with differing optical add power progressions, the optical add power progression of each intraocular lens of the set of intraocular lenses being non-concentric with the intraocular lens and being between two zones each having a constant optical add power;
selecting the intraocular lens containing the optical add power progression that provides enhanced optical performance of the subject eye based on simulations including the biometric measurements of the subject eye and configurations of each intraocular lens of the set of intraocular lenses; and
implanting the intraocular lens in the subject eye.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising simulating aberrations effectuated by the optical add power progression of each intraocular lens of the set of intraocular lenses based on the biometric measurements of the subject eye, and wherein the selecting the intraocular lens is based on the aberrations.
