  • Systems designed for manufacturing and/or repair of ophthalmic prostheses using computer-assisted design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques. These systems typically consist of a scanning unit that combines light sources and a video camera for in-vivo scanning the eyes and surrounding anatomy, a workstation with appropriate software to process the data from the digital topographical image taken by the scanner and provide output for a computerized manufacturing unit (e.g. milling/drilling or additive manufacturing machine), and an automated computer milling/drilling machine that manufacture the prosthesis (e.g., eyeglass, contact, and intraocular lenses). CAD/CAM ophthalmic systems are intended for automated manufacturing of prostheses from composite plastics, and/or other materials. All units of the systems may be located in eye doctor offices or the manufacturing unit may be located in a separate ophthalmic laboratory.
