Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for surface treatment of a contact lens, taking into account topology and refraction values measured on the eye to be optically corrected.
- Vision corrections on optically defective eyes can be carried out in a manner known per se by means of common contact lenses which can be placed directly on the surface of the eye as transparent optical elements.
- the optical effect of contact lenses is almost identical to that of eyeglass lenses and due to the relative curvature of the opposing contact lens surfaces.
- Commercially available contact lenses are manufactured in a molding process, however, only contact lenses of sufficient quality can be obtained in this way, which serve to correct spherical vision defects.
- complicated contact lens surface processing techniques are necessary which provide the contact lens surface with a corresponding optically effective surface topology. Individual irregularities in the eye system have so far not been sufficiently taken into account in manufacturing processes.
- US Pat. No. 5,196,027 shows a method with which the surface of a contact lens facing away from the eye can be processed with the aid of a laser beam.
- a frame which is mounted in the immediate vicinity of the contact lens on the surface of the eye ensures that the eye cannot move relative to the processing laser beam.
- EP 663 179 A1 describes a method with which refractive measurements can also be carried out on the eye provided with a contact lens, measurements being carried out at various points in the lens-eye system.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a production method for contact lenses which largely rules out the mismatches described above.
- a way is to be found which individually adjusts the production of contact lenses to the eye body to be corrected, the method being intended to be carried out as simply and inexpensively as possible.
- the solution concept formulated in claim 1 provides that a preferably soft contact lens is applied to the eye to be optically corrected, so that the contact lens and the eye body largely form a single optical unit. This means that the contact lens with its surface facing the eye rests as far as possible over the entire surface of the eye body, so that the contact lens is adapted precisely to the surface topology of the eye body.
- the contact lens sitting directly on the eye is processed with the aid of a photo-ablative, thermal or photodisruptive material removal process in such a way that laser beams are aimed specifically at the Contact lens surface facing away from the eye, which cause a defined local material removal.
- the energy input and the wavelength of the laser pulses used for this are to be selected such that the major part of the energy input is deposited in the contact lens material. Wavelengths in the ultraviolet spectral range which are absorbed by the contact lens materials used are preferably suitable for this purpose.
- the amounts of material that can be removed by each individual laser pulse can be defined in the contact lens.
- the photoablative, thermal or photodisruptive material removal process takes place over the entire surface of the contact lens until a desired surface topology is reached which corresponds to a surface power that corresponds to the optical correction values determined by the previous refractive measurement process.
- the aid of the method according to the invention it is also possible to detect the changing refractive power ratios during the material removal with the aid of refractive measurement methods or the aforementioned wavefront detection measurement method, so that a direct influence on the material removal method can be exerted.
- the refractive measurements can be carried out globally over the entire eye or at a large number of local points on the eye.
- the contact lens is made of a material or at least has a material that absorbs UV light with a wavelength of 308 nm. This radiation shines through the tear film almost without loss and ablates the contact lens underneath.
- the main advantage of the method according to the invention is that it allows the contact lens to undergo an individual refractive power adjustment for an optimal optical correction of the eye system.
- the method according to the invention provides that a refractive measurement is carried out on the eye, optical correction data typical for the eye and information about the top surface of the eye are obtained and the refractive measurement is carried out with the contact lens fitted, and that a laser beam-assisted measurement is carried out Material removal method is applied to the contact lens separated from the eye, by means of which the surface to be processed takes on a surface shape by means of laser-assisted material removal, by means of which a surface power is obtained in the contact lens, which is determined by the optical correction data, taking into account the information about the eye surface topology.
- the deformation of a wavefront on the eye system is measured, which results in the optical imaging properties of the eye system.
- a flat distribution of local refractive powers or aberration values on the entire cornea based on the system eye can thus be recorded.
- the contact lens is removed from the eye body, in addition to the optical correction values, information about the top surface of the eye during contact lens surface processing can also be taken into account, which can be obtained with the aid of suitable topology measurement methods.
- the removal of material from the contact lens surface is controlled by a process computer, the laser energy being varied depending on the location in order to take into account corresponding deformation phenomena in the contact surface geometry.
