Adjustable fluidic lenses for ophthalmic corrections

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report on two fluidic lenses that have been developed for ophthalmic applications. The lenses use a circular aperture to demonstrate optical powers between 20 and +20D and a rectangular aperture to demonstrate astigmatism with values ranging from 0to8D. Measurements of image quality were made with the fluidic lens using a model eye. Both lenses were variable and controllable by adjusting the fluid volume of the lens. To the best of our knowledge this is the first demonstration of a continuously variable lens for control of astigmatism.
