Title:
METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR ALTERING RELATIVE CURVATURE OF FIELD AND POSITIONS OF PERIPHERAL, OFF-AXIS FOCAL POSITIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2007092853
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling optical aberrations to alter relative curvature of field by providing ocular apparatuses, systems and methods comprising a predetermined corrective factor to produce at least one substantially corrective stimulus for repositioning peripheral, off-axis, focal points relative to the central, on-axis or axial focal point while maintaining the positioning of the central, on-axis or axial focal point on the retina. The invention will be used to provide continuous, useful clear visual images while simultaneously retarding or abating the progression of myopia or hypermetropia.
