Inventor: PORTNEY VALDEMAR
IPC: G02B1/00
Filed: 1989-02-01
Abstract: An ophthalmic lens 50 has a plurality of alternating power zones with a continuously varying power within each zone, as well as in transition from one zone to another. In other words, a plurality of concentric zones (at least two) are provided, in which the variation from far to near vision correction is continuous, i.e. from near correction focal power 60 to far correction focal power 58, then back to near, and again back to far, or vice versa. This change is continuous (progressive), without any abrupt correction changes, or "edges". In a first version, continuous, alternating power variation is achieved by means of a continuously changing curvature of the lens posterior surface, thereby altering the angle of incidence of light rays on the eye. In a second version, continuous, alternating power variation is achieved by creating non-homogeneous surface characteristics having refractive material indexes which continuously vary in the lens radial direction (out from the optical axis). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Products termed -1<1>-cyanine dyes and possessing the general formula <PICT:0413300/IV/1> wherein A stands for vinylene, C (alkyl)2, S, Se, O, B stands for phenylene or substituted phenylene when A is as above, or for naphthylene or substituted naphthylene when A is vinylene, S, Se, O, or for vinylene or substituted vinylene when A is S or O, or for --CH2 CH2--when A is S or Se, R<1> and R<2> stand for alkyl and X for an acid radicle, are prepared by condensing a 1-halogenisoquinoline alkyl halide with a cyclammonium quaternary salt containing a reactive methyl group. An alkaline condensing agent is employed in the process.  In examples 1-iodoquinoline methiodide is condensed with quinaldine ethiodide, quinaldine methiodide, p - toluquinaldine ethiodide, b -naphthoquinaldine ethiodide, lepidine ethiodide, 2 - methyl - b  - naphthathiazole ethiodide, 1-methyl-a -naphthothiazole ethiodide, 1-methylbenzselenazole ethiodide and 2,4-dimethylthiazole ethiodide; 1-iodoisoquinoline ethiodide is condensed with quinaldine ethiodide, 1-methylbenzthiazole ethiodide, 1 - methyl - 5 - chlorobenzthiazole ethiodide, 2-methylthiazoline methiodide, 1-methylbenzoxazole ethiodide, and 2.3.3-trimethylindolenine methiodide; 1-iodoisoquinoline n-propiodide is condensed with 1-methylbenzthiazole ethiodide. Reference is also made to the use of quaternary salts derived from 1,5-dimethylbenzthiazole and 2-methylthiazole.  The foregoing condensations are carried out in the presence of sodium ethylate, sodium or potassium hydroxides or triethylamine. 1-Halogenoisoquinoline alkyl halides are prepared by treating 1-halogenoisoquinoline with an alkyl halide.  In an example isoquinoline is first converted to a quaternary salt by condensing with methyl-p-toluenesulphonate, and this is oxidized with potassium ferricyanide to give 2-methyl-1-isoquinolone; treatment of this with phosphorus pentachloride and phosphorus oxychloride yields 1-chloroisoquinoline which on heating with alkyl bromides or iodides (such as ethyl bromide, methyl-, ethyl-, n-propyliodides) yields the corresponding 1-bromisoquinoline alkyl bromides and 1-iodoisoquinoline alkyl iodides respectively.
