Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of ophthalmic devices, more particularly to intraocular lenses (IOLs) , and still more particularly to thin profile monofocal refractive IOLs for implanting in narrow ocular regions, especially the anterior chamber of an eye .
- IOLs intraocular lenses
- thin profile monofocal refractive IOLs for implanting in narrow ocular regions, especially the anterior chamber of an eye .
- phakic applies to an eye in which the natural crystalline lens is still present.
- aphakic applies to an eye from which the natural crystalline lens has been surgically removed, for example, due to the formation of cataracts on the lens.
- the anterior chamber of an eye is the narrow region between the back, endothelial surface of the cornea and the front surface of the iris.
- the posterior chamber of a phakic eye is the narrow region between the back surface of the iris and the front surface of the natural crystalline lens.
- a Fresnel lens (as defined at page 167 of the DICTIONARY OF OPTICS, published by Butterworth Heinemann, 1995) is "A lens surface of narrow concentric rings or prism sections of a specified power that gives the effect of a continuous lens surface with the same power, but without the usual thickness and weight .
- Glare (as defined at page 53 of THE GLOSSARY OF OPTICAL TERMINOLOGY, published by Professional Press Books, Fairchild Publications, 1986) is "Any degree of light falling on the retina in excess of that which enables one to see clearly.” And alternatively as "Any excess of light which hinders rather than helps vision. (Too much light in the wrong place.)"
- Vision in a phakic eye is caused by light from a viewed object being refracted by the cornea and the natural crystalline lens to form an image on the retina at the back of the eye.
- Corrective spectacles, contact lens or corneal reshaping may be used to assist such image formation.
- Optical muscles connected to a normal crystalline lens change the shape of the lens as needed to provide images of objects at different distances from the eye, an optical process known as accommodation.
- IOL intraocular lens
- IOLs for restoring vision in aphakic eyes
- refractive IOLs and insertion instruments
- the implanting of such corrective IOLs can potentially eliminate the wearing of spectacles or contact lenses, and/or eliminate permanent surgical procedures involving the cornea.
- Anterior chamber- ype IOLs may alternatively be implanted in posterior chambers of phakic eyes for providing corrective power to the natural lens, as may be needed due to subsequent physiological changes of the natural lens as an individual ages .
- the anterior chamber is generally dome-shaped and very narrow—typically only about 3 mm at its center.
- the posterior chamber of a phakic eye be even more narrow, depending upon the size of the crystalline lens and the amount of its accommodation the width of the posterior chamber of a phakic eye —the successful implanting of a corrective IOL in either of these ocular chambers is extremely difficult and risks injuring delicate ocular tissue, especially the cornea's endothelial surface in the case of anterior chamber implanting. Consequently, refractive corrective IOLs, particularly the IOL optics, are desirably made as thin as possible consistent with providing the requisite corrective power and structural stability of the optic.
- U.S. patent 4,787,903 to Grendahl discloses a refractive IOL or corneal lens having an optic that incorporates a Fresnel lens with multiple, concentric ring-zones.
- the Grendahl lens is further disclosed as being made of a composite material that allows refractive index modification with electromagnetic energy.
- the Grendahl patent asserts a first use of a Fresnel lens for IOLs or corneal lenses, the Grendahl patent application having been filed shortly before the Schiegel patent application was filed) .
- U.S. patent 4,846,833 to Cumming discloses the forming of a Fresnel lens on the back surface of a posterior chamber IOL so the Fresnel surface will be sealed by the posterior capsule surface upon the implanting of the IOL in an aphakic eye.
- U.S. patent 6,096,077 to Callahan et al. discloses a thin IOL having the posterior surface formed of a stepped series of annular concentric rings of increasing diameter surrounding a central planar disc region; although, the Callahan et al . patent does not specifically identify the IOL posterior surface as being a Fresnel lens, the associated figures indicate that such is the case.
- a principal objective of the present invention is to provide a narrow profile (that is, thin) IOL, in particular, a narrow profile monofocal IOL that substantially minimizes such visual glare problems.
- a narrow profile, glare reducing refractive monofocal intraocular lens comprises an optic having an anterior surface and a posterior surface and an optical axis.
- One of the anterior and posterior surfaces is formed having adjacent first and second peri-axial, stepped imaging zones, the second peri-axial imaging zone having the substantially the same optical power as the first peri-optical imaging zone.
- a transition zone between the first and second peri- axial imaging zones is preferably formed having a surface of continuous variable curvature so as to reduce both indirect glare (caused by refraction) and direct glare (caused by diffraction) in an individual's eye in which the intraocular lens is implanted from light impinging on the optic.
- Positioning means are joined to the optic for positioning the intraocular lens in the eye with the optical axis of the optic generally aligned with the optical axis of the eye.
- the first peri-axial imaging zone may be circular in shape and be centered at the optical axis of the optic and may have a diameter between about 4.3 mm and about 4.5 mm.
- the second peri-axial imaging zone is in such case formed in annular ring around the first peri-axial imaging zone .
- the first peri-axial imaging zone may be recessed in the optic relative to the second peri-axial imaging zone.
- the second peri-axial imaging zone may be recessed in the optic relative to the first peri-axial imaging zone .
- the first and second peri-axial imaging zones and the transition zone define one surface, preferably the posterior surface, of the optic that has a preferred maximum thickness at any point of between about 0.30 mm and about 0.40 mm.
- the optical power of the peri-axial transition zones is preferably outside the diopter range of about -5 to about + 5.

- Glare caused by abrupt flat transition steps between Fresnel zones of lenses as disclosed in the above-cited patents may be indirect, direct, or combined indirect and direct, according to lighting conditions encountered by an individual in whose eye the intraocular lens is implanted. Indirect and direct glare are most likely to be encountered at night under driving conditions in which the IOL wearer encounters bright lights, such as streetlights, traffic lights and/or headlights and taillights on other vehicles.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the indirect glare that may, for example, be caused by lights encountered in night driving or by the sun in daylight driving. In FIG.
- parallel light rays 20 are shown impinging at an oblique angle, , on a front surface 22 of part of an optic 24 that has a Fresnel lens formed on the back surface.
- Optic 24 is part of a representative prior art IOL 26 that has been implanted in the anterior chamber 28 of an eye 30 (FIG. 2) .
- Light rays 20 may, for example, originate from a bright streetlight 32 that is out of the direct line of vision 34 of eye 30.
- light rays 20 are refracted, in accordance with Snell's Law, as they enter, pass through and exit optic 24.
- retinal glare pattern 49 depends upon the oblique light angle, ⁇ , of incidence on optic 24, but is typically outside a normal viewed image region 50 of retina 48 in a light-sensitive rod region of the retina.
- Scattered rays 20b in eye 30 that impinge on vision region 50 of retina 48 cause, most noticeably at night, visual light effects around or at viewed street, traffic, vehicle and other bright lights.
- These light effects may, for example, be in the form of bright star bursts, streamers or halos (not shown) , depending upon ambient light conditions causing the diffractive light scattering by corners of Fresnel zone steps of IOL optic 24.
- these light effects caused by light diffraction at corners of abrupt Fresnel zone steps, like step 40 can be extremely distracting and can make driving in busy traffic dangerous due to their image blurring.
- abrupt Fresnel zone step 40 with flat surface 38 on IOL optic 24 may cause either indirect (refractive) or direct (diffractive) glare, or both types of glare at the same time, in eye 30 of an individual in whom IOL 26 is implanted.
- a refractive, monofocal intraocular lens 80 comprises a refractive monofocal optic 82 and first and second positioning (attachment) means or haptics 84 and 86 respectively that are attached or joined to opposite edge regions of the optic.
- Optic 82 a posterior surface 88 of which is shown, has an outside diameter, D l t which is may, for example, be between about 5.5 mm and about 7.5 mm.
- Optic 82 is preferably constructed from an elastically deformable material, such as a silicone or acrylic material, to enable the folding of IOL 80 for implanting into an eye through a small ocular incision.
- optic 82 and haptics 84 and 86 may be formed from poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) .
- optic 82 is shown as being of the concave-convex (meniscus) type.
- Posterior optic surface 88 is formed by respective first and second peri-axial, stepped imaging zones 90 and 92 that are separated by an annular transition zone 94 (shown by broken lines in FIG. 1) .
- Imaging zones 90 and 92 are concentric with an optical axis 100 of optic 82 and both are shaped to have the same optical power, which is preferably outside the diopter range of between about -5 and about +5.
- first imaging zone 90 has a preferred diameter, D 2 , of between about 4.3 mm and about 4.5 mm and has a posterior surface 101 of radius, r 1; from an origin, 0, located on optical axis 100.
- Second imaging zone 92 has a posterior surface 102 of radius r2, from coordinate origin, O.
- Second imaging zone 92 is shown recessed or stepped down relative to first imaging zone 90 with the effect of reducing the peripheral thickness of optic 82, a peripheral optic region 103, (shown in phantom lines) having been eliminated to thereby reduce the preferred maximum thickness, t max , of optic 82 at any point to between about 0.3 mm and about 0.4 mm.
- a refractive, monofocal optic 82a of an intraocular lens 80a (that corresponds to above- described intraocular lens 80) , is of the bi-convex type.
- a posterior optic surface 88a is formed by respective first and second peri-axial, stepped imaging zones 90a and 92a that are separated by an annular transition zone 94a (corresponding to first and second imaging zones 90 and 92 and transition zone 94 shown in FIG. 2) .
- Imaging zones 90a and 92a are concentric with an optical axis 100a of optic 82a and respective posterior surface regions 101a and 102a are shaped to have the same optical power, which is preferably outside the diopter range of between about -5 and about +5.
- Optic 82a has the same outside diameter, Di, that may be between about 5.5 mm and about 7.5 mm, and first imaging zone 90a has the same preferred diameter, D 2 , of between about 4.3 mm and about 4.5 mm.
- First imaging zone 90a is, however, shown recessed or stepped down relative to second imaging zone 92a, with the effect of reducing the central thickness of optic 82a, a central optic region 104, (shown in phantom lines) having the effect of being eliminated to thereby reduce the preferred maximum thickness, t max , of optic 82a at any point to between about 0.30 mm and about 0.40 mm.
- optics 82 and 82a For both optics 82 and 82a the use of only two concentric imaging zones 90, 92 and 90a, 92a, respectively, is preferred and is considered by the present inventor to provide a sufficiently narrow optic profile for safe implanting of IOLs 80 and 80a in anterior chambers of patients, while maintaining IOL optic integrity.
- optic 82 As being representative and as described below, the shape of the surface of transition zone 94 between first and second imaging zones 90 and 92 is important for reducing glare in a patient's eye from light impinging on optic 82.
- FIG. 8 shows, in an extremely enlarged representation, a preferred, transition zone surface 110 of transition zone 94 between respective first and second imaging zones 90 and 92 of IOL optic 82.
- Transition zone surface 110 is shown as being continuously variably curved, which reduces both indirect and direct glare in the eye of an individual in which IOL 80 is implanted, as more particularly described below.
- transition zone 94 has a total width, w, which is equal to combined widths, 1, and, 1'
- Width, 1 is preferably between about 1.5 times and about 2.0 times a radius, r, of a cutting tool 120 (shown in broken lines) .
- a typical tool radius, r may be about 0.125 mm, which is sufficiently large to achieve good optical quality of respective first and second imaging zones 90 and 92, while still being sufficiently small to produce a narrow transition zone 94.
- width, 1, is preferably between about 0.14 mm and about 0.27 mm. Assuming, as described below, that width, 1', is equal to about 0.1 times width, 1, total transition zone width, w, (in the x direction) is preferably between about 0.15 mm and about 0.30 mm. Height, h, (in the z direction) of transition zone 94 is preferably between about 0.10 mm and about 0.40 mm.
- transition zone curved surface 110 starts at point 1 at first imaging zone 90 and ends at point 4 at second imaging zone 92 , with intermediate surface points 2 and 3.
- Radius, ri, of first imaging zone 90 (referring to FIG. 6) prior to point 1 is defined by the following mathematical expression:
- Point 2 at transition surface 110 is defined by width, 1 (from point 1 to the center of tool 120) ; transition zone height, h; tool radius, r; and tool angle, ⁇ , wherein angle, ⁇ , is preferably between about
- a transition zone surface region 122 between points 1 to 2 connects transition zone 94 with first imaging zone 90, and can be described by the polynomial form of third order as shown below:
- Point 3 at transition surface 110 is also defined by width, 1; transition zone height, h; tool radius, r; and tool angle, ⁇ , which is preferably between about 15 degrees and about 20 degrees.
- a transition zone surface region 124 between points 2 and 3 is defined by tool radius, r, according to the mathematical expression:
- the Z coordinate at transition zone surface point 4 is preferably selected to have the same z value as at surface point 3.
- Width, 1', of a surface region 126 between points 3 and 4 is preferably equal to about 0.10 times width, 1, and provides a smooth continuity of transition zone 94 to second imaging zone 92.
- Mathematical format of surface region 126 is the same as that of surface region 122 between surface points 1 and 2 and is given by the following expression: .
- Second transition zone 92 of radius, r 2 , beyond transition surface point 4 is defined by the following mathematical expression:
- FIG. 9 which is similar to FIG. 1, depicts a bundle of parallel light rays 112 impinging on anterior surface 114 of optic 82 at angle, ⁇ . Light rays 112 are refracted, in accordance with Snell's Law, as they enter, pass through and exit optic 82. However, because of the continuously variable curvature of transition zone surface 110 (FIG.
- FIG. 10 which corresponds to FIG. 2, diverging light rays 112a refracted from transition zone surface 110 of optic 82 impinge on a region 114 of retina 48 (shown in broken lines) of representative eye 30 to cause only a very diffused glare pattern 116 (indicated by dots) .
- FIG. 11 (which corresponds generally to FIGS. 8 and 9) , depicts light rays 112a impinging perpendicularly onto optic anterior surface 114. Due to the particular shape of continuously variably curved transition zone surface 110, as described relative to FIG. 8, light rays 112a' are redirected at surface 110 out of the image by internal reflection.
- a ray 112a" is depicted in FIG. 11 as refracted from surface 110 in a diverging manner that could cause some image glare, the glare is nevertheless substantially less than the direct glare caused by sharp corners 52 and 54 of Fresnel zone step 38 (FIG. 3) and other Fresnel zone steps of the same height .
- the result of transition zone 94 having the continuously variable curveted surface 110 described above, is that optic 82 of IOL 80 provided substantially less glare than sharp, flat Fresnel zone step(s) 38.
- FIGS. 12 and 13 depict, in extremely enlarged representations, variation transition zone surface curvatures that although providing somewhat less glare reduction than the continually variable curvature described above for surface 110 of transition zone 94 of optic 82 nevertheless are within the scope of the present invention.
- a transition zone 94c between respective first and second imaging zones 90c and 92 c of an optic 82c.
- imaging zones 90c and 92c may be identical to imaging zones 90 and 92 described above.
- Surface 110c of transition zone 94c is variably curved, but is not continuously variably curved as described above for transition zone surface 110, having, as an example, a discontinuity at a point 130.
- the variably curved region of transition zone surface 110c may be developed in a manner analogous to the above- described manner of developing transition zone surface 110 (FIG. 8)
- a principal effect of variably curved transition zone surface 110c is that some direct glare may be caused by light diffraction at discontinuity point 130 in the manner depicted in FIGS. 3 and 4 for known Fresnel zone step 40.
- transition zone 94d between respective first and second imaging zones 90d and 92 d of an optic 82d.
- imaging zones 90d and 92d may be identical to imaging zones 90 and 92 described above.
- Surface 110c of transition zone 94c is shown continuously curved, but not continuously variably curved as described above for transition zone surface 110, having, as an example, a central region 132 of non- variable curvature a discontinuity at a point 130.
- the variably curved regions of transition zone surface llOd may be developed in a manner analogous to the above- described manner of developing transition zone surface 110 (FIG.
- a principal effect of continuously curved transition zone surface llOd is that some indirect glare may be caused by light refraction from region 132 of surface llOd in the manner depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2 for known Fresnel zone step 40.
