Ophthalmic lens combinations
09814570 · 2017-11-14 · ·

An ophthalmic device is provided for a patient that has a basic prescription for distant vision, the ophthalmic device including a primary optic and a supplemental optic. The primary optic is configured for placement in the eye and has a base optical power configured to substantially provide the basic prescription. The supplemental optic has an optical power that is less than the optical power of the primary optic and is configured to provide, in combination with the primary optic, a combined optical power that provides the basic prescription of the patient. In addition, at least one surface of the primary optic is configured to deform in response to an ocular force so as to modify the combined optical power by at least 1 Diopter. The ophthalmic device may further include a movement assembly operably coupled to the primary optic that is structured to cooperate with the eye to effect accommodating deformation of the primary optic in response to an ocular force produced by the eye. The movement assembly may also be configured to provide accommodating axial movement of the primary optic.

Intraocular lenses

This document describes intraocular lenses and methods for their use. For example, this document describes intraocular lenses that are shaped with a concave posterior peripheral portion that mitigates occurrences of dysphotopsia. The intraocular lenses described herein are designed to reduce positive and negative dysphotopsias after cataract surgery.

INTRAOCULAR LENSES FOR REDUCING NEGATIVE DYSPHOTOPSIA

Intraocular lenses for reducing negative dysphotpsia (ND) are described herein. An example ophthalmic lens can include an optic (200) with a central optical zone (225) disposed about the optical axis (OA) and an attenuation optical zone (220) disposed about the central optical zone (225), wherein the attenuation optical zone (220) is contiguous with the central optical zone (225), and wherein optical power of the ophthalmic lens is gradually reduced within the attenuation optical zone (220).

Situ filling and sealing of electrowetting intraocular lenses
11197752 · 2021-12-14 · ·

An eye-implantable electrowetting lens can be operated to control an overall optical power of an eye in which the device is implanted. A lens chamber of the electrowetting lens contains first and second fluids that are immiscible with each other and have different refractive indexes. By applying a voltage to electrodes of the lens, the optical power of the lens can be controlled by affecting the geometry of the interface between the fluids. When the electrowetting lens is inserted into the eye, the lens chamber may contain only one of the first and second fluids. The other fluid can be added after insertion through a needle, a tube, or some other means. Having only one of the first and second fluids in the lens chamber during insertion of the lens can prevent fouling of internal surfaces due to folding or other manipulation of the lens during the insertion process.

Intraocular implant with removable optic
11364110 · 2022-06-21 · ·

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.

Method of implanting and forming masked intraocular implants and lenses
11357617 · 2022-06-14 · ·

Intraocular implants and methods of making intraocular implants are provided. The intraocular implants can improve the vision of a patient, such as by increasing the depth of focus of an eye of a patient. In particular, the intraocular implants can include a mask having an annular portion with a relatively low visible light transmission surrounding a relatively high transmission central portion such as a clear lens or aperture. This construct is adapted to provide an annular mask with a small aperture for light to pass through to the retina to increase depth of focus. The intraocular implant may have an optical power for refractive correction. The intraocular implant may be implanted in any location along the optical pathway in the eye, e.g., as an implant in the anterior or posterior chamber.

20220142770 · 2022-05-12 ·

Embodiments of a modulable absorption light adjustable lens (MALAL) comprise a light adjustable lens that is capable of changing its optical properties upon an adjusting irradiation, including a photo-modifiable material; and a modulable absorption front protection layer, including a modulable absorption compound whose absorption properties can be modulated with a modulating stimulus. Other embodiments include a method of adjusting an optical property of a modulable absorption light adjustable lens, the method comprising: reducing an absorption of a modulable absorption compound of a modulable absorption front protection layer of the MALAL by a modulating stimulus, the MALAL having been previously implanted into an eye; and changing an optical property of a light adjustable lens of the MALAL by applying an adjusting irradiation.

Corneal implant
