Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs). Exemplary ophthalmic lenses can include a plurality of echelettes arranged around the optical axis, having a profile in r-squared space. The echelettes may be non-repeating over the optical zone.

The present invention refers to an intraocular lens provided with specific diffractive profile, in which each step height is individually defined, with no fixed pattern. The intraocular lens provides a better control of the luminous efficiency of each focal point, guaranteeing more flexibility and customization, being adaptable to the optical quality that the patient needs.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs). Embodiments may include a shift of a diffractive order.

A diffractive quint focal intraocular lens includes a base optic and a diffractive element. The base optic has a base curvature that corresponds to a base power. The diffractive element provides constructive interference in at least five consecutive diffractive orders to create a set of five focal points for vision from near to distance. The constructive interference provides for a near focal point at the highest diffractive order of the five consecutive diffractive orders, a distance focal point at the lowest diffractive order, and three intermediate diffractive orders between the highest and lowest diffractive orders to provide continuity of vision from near to distance with an extended intermediate, an intermediate, and an extended near focal points. The multifocal intraocular lens (i) provides a diffraction efficiency of −100%, (ii) creates almost no positive optical disturbance, (iii) may also reduce longitudinal chromatic aberration.

A multifocal diffractive lens is provided which achieves efficient use of light. The multifocal diffractive lens 100 includes a diffraction grating 1c. Negative-order light L2 produces a focal point f2 for far vision and 0-order light L1 produces a focal point f1 nearer to that for far vision. The number of focal points is two or more. The focal position fc for far vision in polychromatic performance evaluation is located nearer to the multifocal diffractive lens than the focal position fs for far vision in monochromatic performance evaluation.

A multifocal IOL including at least one diffractive surface including a plurality of discrete, adjacent, diffractive, concentric rings, having a radial phase profile cross-section with a near-symmetrical diffractive surface topography, and an odd number, greater than three, of diffractive orders and an asymmetrical distribution of energy flux over the diffractive orders.

Devices and methods for novel retinal irradiance distribution modification (IDM) to improve, stabilize or restore vision are described herein. Also encompassed herein are devices and methods to reduce vision loss from diseases, injuries and disorders that involve damaged and/or dysfunctional and/or sensorily deprived retinal cells. Conditions that may be treated using devices and methods described herein include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Therapy provided by retinal IDM devices and methods described herein may also be used in combination with other therapies including, but not limited to, pharmacological, retinal laser, gene and stem cell therapies.

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. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an artificial lens.

The embodiments disclosed herein include improved toric lenses and other ophthalmic apparatuses (including, for example, contact lens, intraocular lenses (IOLs), and the like) that includes a freeform-polynomial surface area that establishes a band of operational meridian for the apparatus to an intended correction meridian. The freeform-polynomial surface area is defined by a mathematical expression comprising a combination of one or more polynomial expressions (e.g., Chebyshev-based polynomial expression, Zernike-based polynomial expression, etc.) each having a distinct complex orders.

The invention relates to a trifocal artificial ophthalmic lens (20), which contains an anterior side optical surface (21), a posterior side optical surface (22) and an optical axis (23), at least one of the anterior side optical surface (21) and the posterior side optical surface (22) contains an optics having three useful focal points and having an at least partially diffractive profile. The three useful focal points correspond to focal points (31, 32) belonging to the 0.sup.th and 1.sup.st diffraction orders of the diffractive profile, and to a focal point (33) belonging to an enhanced diffractive secondary peaks between the 0.sup.th and the 1.sup.st diffraction orders. The invention also relates to a method of producing the aforementioned trifocal artificial ophthalmic lens.
