Accommodating intraocular lenses and methods of use. The accommodating intraocular lenses include peripheral regions that are adapted to be more responsive to certain types of forces than to other types of forces. For example, the accommodating intraocular lenses can include haptics that are stiffer in an anterior-to-posterior direction than in a radial direction.

A lens including a flexible refractive optic having a fixed refractive index, an electro active element embedded within the flexible refractive optic, wherein the electro-active element has an alterable refractive index, and a controller electrically, connected to the electro-active element wherein when power is applied thereto the refractive index of the electro-active element is altered.

An accommodation-facilitating intraocular implant has: a ring sized to fit within a capsular lens bag of an eye; and a plurality of haptics angularly spaced around and radially extended from the ring. A multi-curve implantable accommodating intraocular lens has a convex anterior and concave posterior.

Intraocular lenses with a base optical power and a customized add power. The add power is customized based on at least one of ocular biometry of an individual, position of the intraocular lens in the eye and a preferred reading distance.

The present disclosure is directed to lenses, devices, methods and/or systems for addressing refractive error. Certain embodiments are directed to changing or controlling the wavefront of the light entering a human eye. The lenses, devices, methods and/or systems can be used for correcting, addressing, mitigating or treating refractive errors and provide excellent vision at distances encompassing far to near without significant ghosting. The refractive error may for example arise from myopia, hyperopia, or presbyopia with or without astigmatism. Certain disclosed embodiments of lenses, devices and/or methods include embodiments that address foveal and/or peripheral vision. Exemplary of lenses in the fields of certain embodiments include contact lenses, corneal onlays, corneal inlays, and lenses for intraocular devices both anterior and posterior chamber, accommodating intraocular lenses, electro-active spectacle lenses and/or refractive surgery.

A method and system provide an ophthalmic device. The ophthalmic device includes an ophthalmic lens having anterior surface, a posterior surface and at least one diffractive structure including a plurality of zones. The at least one diffractive structure is for at least one of the anterior surface and the posterior surface. Each zone includes at least one echelette having a least one step height. The step height(s) are individually optimized for each zone. To compensate chromatic aberration of eye from distance to a range of vision, a greater than 2π phase step height may be employed and the step height(s) folded by a phase, which is an integer multiple of two multiplied by π. Hence chromatic aberration of eye may be compensated to improve vision from distance to near.

The invention relates to an intraocular lens with extended depth of focus including aspheric anterior and posterior optical surfaces.

Provided is an intraocular lens including a lens body having a back surface disposed on a retinal side and a front surface disposed on a corneal side, wherein an entire back surface is shaped in such a way as to protrude from a peripheral edge of the back surface toward the retinal side in a direction of an optical axis, in a shape of a truncated cone, and the front surface has any of the following shapes (i) to (iii); (i) the front surface is shaped in such a way as to start to be recessed toward the retinal side in the direction of the optical axis when viewed toward a center from a peripheral edge of the front surface, (ii) the front surface is shaped in such a way that an initial part from the peripheral edge of the front surface toward the center is flat, (iii) the front surface is shaped in such a way as to start to protrude toward the corneal side in the direction of the optical axis when viewed toward the center from the peripheral edge of the front surface, but a rate of rise of a protrusion from the peripheral edge of the front surface is smaller than a rate of rise of a protrusion from the peripheral edge of the back surface.

In certain embodiments, an ophthalmic lens includes an optic having an anterior surface, a posterior surface, and an optical axis. At least one of the anterior surface and the posterior surface includes a first zone extending from the optical axis to a first radial boundary and a second zone extending from the first radial boundary to the edge of the optic. The first zone includes an inner region and an outer region separated by a phase shift feature, the phase shift comprising a ridge extending outwardly from the inner region and the outer region.

The present disclosure provides an ophthalmic lens (such as an IOL) that is designed to enhance depth of focus for intermediate vision performance, while maintaining distance vision. The lens may include an optic having an anterior surface and a posterior surface disposed about an optical axis. One of the surfaces (e.g., the anterior surface) may have a surface profile involving a superposition of at least three structures or profiles, including a base structure, a phase shift structure having an inner region, an outer region and a transition region, and a zonal structure having an inner power zone and an outer transition zone.
