APPLICATION OF WAVEFRONT SENSOR TO LENSES CAPABLE OF POST-FABRICATION POWER MODIFICATION

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of implementing an optical element having a refraction modulating composition. The methods include using a wavefront sensor to provide an optical measurement of the optical element. T he present invention also relates to systems comprising an optical element havi ng a refraction modulating composition and a wavefront sensor. An embodiment is described in which the optical element is an intraocular lens. Optical aberrations of the lens measured by the wavefront sensor are corrected by photo-polymerization of the refraction modulating composition which alters t he refractive properties of the lens. Correction of lens refractive errors can be carried out after the lens has been implanted in the eye.
