Design of a Variable Toric Lens Using Laterally Shifted Freeform Elements Jason A. Shultz and Thomas J. Suleski in Optical Design and Fabrication 2017 (Freeform, IODC, OFT), OSA Technical Digest (online) (Optical Society of America, 2017), paper JW2C.2. We present a design process for a variable lens pair where the x and y focal lengths are varied independently of each other using laterally shifted freeform surfaces. Examples are presented.
