Stabilization of contact lenses

摘要

Contact lens designs are provided with improved stabilization wherein the moments of momentum are balanced.

主权项

1. A contact lens, the lens comprising:
an optical zone for vision correction; a peripheral zone surrounding the optical zone, the optical zone and the peripheral zone having a geometric center and define a vertical and horizontal axis passing therethrough; and two discrete stabilization zones incorporated into the peripheral zone as extra thick zones added to the thickness profile of the lens, the stabilization zones being oriented ten degrees off from the vertical axis and an upper portion of each stabilization zone is oriented toward the geometric center, and wherein the bulk of each stabilization zone lies above the horizontal axis.
