An optical lens device has an actively controllable focal length. This device comprises an element with lensing effect comprising a plurality of regions. Each such region has a corresponding refractive power for providing a corresponding focal length distinct from the focal length of at least one other region of this plurality of regions. The device further comprises at least one non-centric addressable optical element integrated in or provided on the element with lensing effect. This at least one addressable optical element is adapted for changing the transmittance of at least one of the plurality of regions in response to a control signal. The device also comprises a control means for generating the control signal.

Intraocular implants and methods of forming intraocular implants are described herein. The intraocular implant can include a powered optic and a lens holder. The optic can be mechanically coupled to an inner periphery of the lens holder to form the intraocular implant. A portion of the lens holder can include a mask disposed about the optic to increase depth of focus in a human patient.

Ionized radiation-absorbed, dose sensitive, highly flexible polymeric compositions are provided that exhibits multidirectional changes in refractive index. Also provided are methods of producing a precision multi-directional nanogradient of refractive index in a polymeric composition.

An accommodating intraocular lens including an optic portion comprising an anterior surface and a posterior surface, a peripheral portion disposed radially relative to the optic portion and in communication with the optic portion and, the peripheral portion having a proximal portion secured to the optic portion and a free distal portion disposed away from the proximal portion, and a radially innermost surface of the peripheral portion, from the proximal portion to the free distal portion, follows a curved radially-outermost peripheral surface of the optic portion.

Multifocal intraocular lens with extended depth of field that comprises, in at least one of the surfaces (2), a small zone with a multifocal profile with a defined optical axis (3) and, in the peripheral region and coaxial to the multifocal zone, a ring-shaped opaque mask (1) that partially or totally block light to produce a small aperture effect and, therefore, the multifocal profile has a radius equal or larger than the internal radius of the mask (1), and there is at least one transition between focal zones or one diffractive step inside the internal radius of the mask (1).

An intraocular lens is provided. The intraocular lens includes an optical part and an adjoining haptic part. The optical part includes an optically imaging element and a telescope, the entire telescope being integrally formed and being integrated in the optical imaging element. The optically imaging element has a convexly-curved front side and a concavely-curved rear side. Further, the optically imaging element is arranged as a single lens system.

The intraocular aberration correction lens is shaped by an optical area that has a gradient in the chromatic dispersion value of the material or materials that shape it, in such way that said gradient is parallel to the optical axis. The net value of the chromatic dispersion in the anterior area of the lens is different from the value in its posterior area. For this, the use of a single material or various is possible. The anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens, as well as the separation between adjacent materials, if applicable, have a geometric shape so that the group comprising the intraocular lens and the eye that contains it display a correction, or significant reduction, of the optical aberrations, both the chromatic ones and the monochromatic ones on and outside the optical axis. The lens can be given areas with different optical powers in a way that enables clear and simultaneous vision at different distances.

A method of altering a refractive property of a crosslinked acrylic polymer material by irradiating the material with a high energy pulsed laser beam to change its refractive index. The method is used to alter the refractive property, and hence the optical power, of an implantable intraocular lens after implantation in the patient's eye. In some examples, the wavelength of the laser beam is in the far red and near IR range and the light is absorbed by the crosslinked acrylic polymer via two-photon absorption at high laser pulse energy. The method also includes designing laser beam scan patterns that compensate for effects of multiphone absorption such as a shift in the depth of the laser pulse absorption location, and compensate for effects caused by high laser pulse energy such as thermal lensing. The method can be used to form a Fresnel lens in the optical zone.

Ionized radiation-absorbed, dose sensitive, highly flexible polymeric compositions are provided that exhibits multidirectional changes in refractive index. Also provided are methods of producing a precision multi-directional nanogradient of refractive index in a polymeric composition.

The present invention is a phakic intraocular lens for implantation between an iris and a crystalline lens. The phakic intraocular lens includes a diffraction grating 5 disposed in a lens central part 2 and having circular, coaxial grooves formed thereon, and a support part 3 disposed outside the diffraction grating 5 and supporting the diffraction grating 5. A hole 6 is formed in the center of the diffraction grating 5.
