Abstract:
1. A method for designing an ophthalmic lens element through the use of a non-transitory computer readable medium, the method comprising the steps of: determining a wavefront aberration of an eye in a reference plane, wherein the wavefront aberration of the eye can be described by a first series of polynomials of ascending order up to a first specific order and corresponding first coefficients; determining a first vision correction described by a second series of polynomials of a second specific order and corresponding second coefficients to obtain an adapted ophthalmic lens element; determining at least one specified point over an aperture of the adapted ophthalmic lens element; determining a high-order wavefront aberration in the reference plane for each specified point of the adapted ophthalmic lens element, wherein the high-order wavefront aberration can be described by a third series of polynomials of ascending order above the second specific order up to and including the first specific order and corresponding third coefficients; and determining a second vision correction of the second specific order for each of the specified points to obtain an optimized ophthalmic lens element based on the first vision correction up to and including the second specific order and based on combined first and third coefficients above the second specific order and up to and including the first specific order.
