A method and system for selecting an intraocular lens, with a controller having a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory. A plurality of machine learning models is selectively executable by the controller. The controller is configured to receive at least one pre-operative image of the eye and extract, via a first input machine learning model, a first set of data. The controller is configured to receive multiple biometric parameters of the eye and extract, via a second input machine learning model, a second set of data. The first set of data and the second set of data are combined to produce a mixed set of data. The controller is configured to generate, via an output machine learning model, at least one output factor based on the mixed set of data. An intraocular lens is selected based in part on the at least one output factor.

A diffractive multifocal lens is disclosed, comprising an optical element having at least one diffractive surface, the surface profile comprising a plurality of annular concentric zones. The optical thickness of the surface profile changes monotonically with radius within each zone, while a distinct step in optical thickness at the junction between adjacent zones defines a step height. The step heights for respective zones may differ from one zone to another periodically so as to tailor diffraction order efficiencies of the optical element, in one example of a trifocal lens, step heights alternate between two values, the even-numbered step heights being lower than the odd-numbered step heights. By plotting a topographical representation of the diffraction efficiencies resulting from such a surface profile, step heights may be optimized to direct a desired level of light power into the diffraction orders corresponding to near, intermediate, and distance vision, thereby optimizing the performance of the multifocal lens.

Intraocular implants and methods of making intraocular implants are disclosed. The intraocular implant can include a mask adapted to increase depth of focus. The method of manufacturing the implant can include filling an annular mask-forming trough with an opaque mask material and adding an optically transmissive optic material over the opaque mask material.

A first region is a circular region located at the centermost position. A first refractive power is uniformly added to the first region regardless of the distance from an axis of a lens part. A second region is a ring-like region located outside and adjacent to the first region. In the second region, a refractive power is increased or decreased from the first refractive power as the distance from the axis becomes larger. An outer region is a ring-like region located outside the second region. A reference refractive power for focusing on a far point is added to the outer region. An MTF curve at spatial frequency of 50 lp/mm relating to light passing through a region having a radius of 1.5 mm around the axis has one maximal value and no minimal value in a range of a defocusing value of −0.5 D to 0.5 D.

An intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation within a capsular bag of a patient's eye comprises an optical structure and a haptic structure. The optical structure comprises a planar member, a plano convex member, and a fluid optical element defined between the planar member and the plano convex member. The fluid optical element has an optical power. The haptic structure couples the planar member and the plano convex member together at a peripheral portion of the optical structure. The haptic structure comprises a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the fluid optical element and a peripheral structure for interfacing to the lens capsule. Shape changes of the lens capsule cause one or more of volume or shape changes to the fluid optical element in correspondence to deformations in the planar member to modify the optical power of the fluid optical element.

A system for delivering an intraocular lens (IOL) is disclosed, including: a handpiece including a barrel defining an elongate passage, a pushrod disposed inside the elongate passage, and a plunger coupled to the pushrod; and a delivery unit coupled to a first end of the barrel, the delivery unit including a delivery tube and a lens holder coupled to the delivery tube, the lens holder including a lead haptic shelf arranged to receive a lead haptic of an IOL that is contained inside the lens holder, wherein the lead haptic shelf is configured to fold the lead haptic of the IOL over a body of the IOL while permitting the IOL to travel under the lead haptic shelf when the IOL is displaced from the lens holder to the delivery tube by the pushrod during delivery of the IOL into a patient's eye.

Intraocular lens (IOL) folding devices and methods of folding an IOL or components thereof are disclosed.

A modular intraocular lens (IOL) with a ring configured to prevent glare artifacts. The ring includes a flange on the posterior rim, in which an anterior surface on the flange has a first profile and a posterior surface of the flange has a second profile non-parallel with the first profile. Non-parallel surfaces of the flange can be configured to defocus light transmitted at off-axis angles through an optic and the flange.
