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.

A virtual aperture integrated into an intraocular lens is disclosed. Optical rays which intersect the virtual aperture are widely scattered across the retina causing the light to be virtually prevented from reaching detectable levels on the retina. The use of the virtual aperture helps remove monochromatic and chromatic aberrations yielding high-definition retinal images. For a given definition of acceptable vision, the depth of field is increased over a larger diameter optical zone. In addition, thinner intraocular lenses can be produced since the optical zone can have a smaller diameter. This in turn allows smaller corneal incisions and easier implantation surgery.

A multifocal ophthalmic lens includes an ophthalmic lens and a diffractive element. The ophthalmic lens has a base curvature corresponding to a base power. The diffractive element produces constructive interference in at least four consecutive diffractive orders corresponding a range of vision between near and distance vision. The constructive interference produces a near focus, a distance focus corresponding to the base power of the ophthalmic lens, and an intermediate focus between the near focus and the distance focus.

A composite light adjustable intraocular lens comprises an acrylic diffractive intraocular lens, having a diffractive structure and haptics; and a silicone light adjustable lens, attached to the acrylic diffractive intraocular lens. The diffractive structure produces constructive interference in at least four consecutive diffractive orders corresponding a range of vision between near and distance vision, wherein the constructive interference produces a near focal point, a distance focal point corresponding to the base power of the ophthalmic lens, and an intermediate focal point between the near focal point and the distance focal point and wherein a diffraction efficiency of at least one of the diffractive orders is suppressed to less than ten percent.

The present invention relates to an aspherical multifocal intraocular lens with large depth of field, the intraocular lens having an anterior optical surface and a posterior optical surface, wherein one optical surface is distributed with an aspherical surface which plays a role of expanding the depth of field, and the other optical surface is distributed with a multifocal structure which plays a role of providing two or more focal points. The aspherical surface provides a depth of field matching with an absolute value of a difference in refractive power of at least one pair of adjacent focal points of the two or more focal points provided by the multifocal structure. The aspherical surface, on the one hand, allows a continuous visual range between the focal points and, on the other hand, extends near vision in the direction of near focal point through the depth of field, thereby enabling continuous, uninterrupted full-range vision and adequate near vision. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an intraocular lens. The present invention also relates to an artificial lens, and more particularly to an artificial lens that makes use of excessive resolution to achieve focal extension.
