Exemplary light control devices and methods provide a regional variation of visual information and sampling (“V-VIS”) of an ocular field of view that improves or stabilizes vision, ameliorates a visual symptom, reduces the rate of vision loss, or reduces the progression of an ophthalmic or neurologic condition, disease, injury or disorder. The V-VIS devices and methods generate a moving aperture effect anterior to a retina that samples and delivers to the retina environmental light from an ocular field of view at a sampling rate between 50 hertz and 50 kilohertz. Certain of these V-VIS devices and methods may be combined with augmented or virtual reality, vision measurement, vision monitoring, or other therapies including, but not limited to, pharmacological, gene, retinal replacement and stem cell therapies.

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.

An insertion tool for delivering an implantable lens support device into an eye having a proximal end region; a distal end region having a distal hook; and an intermediate region connecting the distal end region to the proximal end region, the intermediate region being substantially planar. The distal end region and intermediate region are sized for insertion through a clear corneal incision. Related tools, methods, and devices are provided.

Methods, systems, and ophthalmic devices are described for correcting a misperception of depth of a moving object. An example ophthalmic device may comprise a first lens having a first optical characteristic that increases a distance of a focal point of a first eye. The ophthalmic device may comprise a second lens having a second optical characteristic that decreases a distance of a focal point of a second eye. The second lens may have a third optical characteristic that reduces a misperception of a distance of an moving object.

An upgradable intraocular platform system includes (a) a substrate implantable in an eye; (b) an upgrade interface on the substrate for connection of at least one upgrade component for upgrading the platform system; and (c) a controller for controlling operation of the platform system.

An optical device (2300) including a partial or incomplete optic (2320) configured operatively as an add-on (e.g., supplemental lens/optic) for an (existing) optical element or system, the partial or incomplete optic having an active area configured in relation to the optical element or system such that the partial or incomplete optic controls or changes foci of light incident upon or provided to the active area, but does not control or change foci of light bypassing optically relevant portions of the partial or incomplete optic, and associated methods for enhancing vision.

An adjustable optic device for providing light field information includes: (a) at least one counter electrode; (b) one or more working electrodes; (c) an insulating framework separating the counter electrode from each working electrode; and (d) an electrolyte medium between the counter electrode and the one or more working electrodes. Each working electrode is reversibly transitionable from a stripped state toward a plated state when a plating charge voltage is applied to induce plating with ions from the electrolyte medium. When in the stripped state, the one or more working electrodes are transparent and present a passage through the optic device for transmission of electromagnetic radiation. When in the plated state, the one or more working electrodes are plated with ions from the electrolyte medium to provide a coded aperture in the passage. The coded aperture has a pattern of subapertures for providing light field information.

Implantable corneal and intraocular implants such as a mask are provided. The mask can improve the vision of a patient, such as by being configured to increase the depth of focus of an eye of a patient. The mask can include an aperture configured to transmit along an optical axis substantially all visible incident light. The mask can further include a transition portion that surrounds at least a portion of the aperture. This portion can be configured to switch from one level of opacity to another level of opacity through the use of a controllably variable absorbance feature such as a switchable photochromic chromophore within a polymer matrix.

An intraocular lens configured to reduce or eliminate oblique incident light photic disturbances in the eye, said lens comprising anterior and posterior surfaces defining a central lens optic extending from said anterior to said posterior surfaces and a peripheral portion outside of the central lens optic, wherein the peripheral portion is a prismatic lens which redirects oblique incident light on the peripheral portion forward of the nasal retina in the eye and onto the ciliary body/pars plana region.

Various embodiments are described herein for an ocular device implantable in a user's eye and which has an adjustable optical element for varying one or more optical properties for the eye such as, but not limited to, providing a dynamically adjustable aperture stop to control the amount of incoming light, filtering incoming light, polarizing incoming light, and/or varying a depth of field for the eye.
