EXTENDED DEPTH FIELD OPTICS FOR HUMAN VISION
The present invention provides extended depth of field to human eyes by modifying contact lenses, intraocular implants, and/or the surface of the eye itself. This may be accomplished by applying selected phase variations to these optical elements (e.g., by varying surface thickness of the cornea of...

| description | The present invention provides extended depth of field to human eyes by modifying contact lenses, intraocular implants, and/or the surface of the eye itself. This may be accomplished by applying selected phase variations to these optical elements (e.g., by varying surface thickness of the cornea of the eye). The phase variations EDF-code the wavefront and cause the optical transfer function to remain essentially constant within a range of distances from the in-focus position. This provides a coded image on the retina. The human brain decodes this coded image, resulting in an in-focus image over an increased depth of field. |
