Optical design of electronic contact lenses to reduce the progression of myopia

摘要

Soft contact lenses include multiple light sources that are coupled to multiple optical elements. Multiple light sources and multiple optics are embedded in the soft contact lens material. Each of the plurality of optical elements produces an image that is focused in front of the wearer's peripheral retina. In some embodiments, the images are each focused at a distance in front of the peripheral retina at a location, and the images each have a depth of focus and spatial resolution, respectively. Depth of focus can be less than distance and spatial resolution can exceed the spatial resolution of the peripheral retina at the site.
