Abstract

Ophthalmic lenses are described herein. An example ophthalmic lens may comprise a first surface. The example ophthalmic lens may comprise a second surface disposed opposite the first surface and defining a volume of lens material therebetween. A thickness profile of the volume of lens material may be derived from one or more eyelid profiles such that a thickness gradient of the volume of lens material is oriented to be substantially orthogonal to a target eyelid margin shape.
