The intraocular device could include an electronic lens configured to provide a controllable optical power to the eye. The intraocular device could include sensors configured to detect accommodation forces exerted by muscles of the eye; such detected forces could be used to control an electronic lens of the intraocular device or an electronic lens of the eye-mountable device.

A composite light adjustable intraocular lens, can include an intraocular lens (IOL), a light adjustable lens, attached to the intraocular lens, and haptics. In some cases, a composite light adjustable intraocular lens can include an intraocular lens, and haptics, attached to the IOL with light-adjustable hinges. A method of adjusting an implanted composite light adjustable intraocular lens can include planning a targeted optical outcome of an implantation of the composite light adjustable intraocular lens into an eye; implanting, the composite light adjustable intraocular lens into the eye; performing a diagnostic measurement to evaluate an implanted optical outcome of the implantation; determining a correction based on a comparison of the planned optical outcome and the implanted optical outcome; and applying a stimulus to adjust an optical characteristic of the composite light adjustable intraocular lens to induce the determined correction.

Methods and apparatus to improve or restore vision by causing a rebooting of the visual system of an eye with modification of visual search, sampling and stimulation away from the preferred retinal locus of fixation of an eye to enhance neural integration and perception of visual information from within the field of view are described herein. Some embodiments cause transient, reversible or repeatable redirection of environmental light away from the preferred retinal locus of fixation of an eye to multiple retinal locations that are not the preferred retinal locus of fixation. Some embodiments reduce exposure of environmental light at the preferred retinal locus of fixation of an eye for a determinable interval at a determinable rate. Some embodiments cause a defocusing of environmental light at the preferred retinal locus of fixation in an eye with a visual impairment or loss.

Embodiments of a modulable absorption light adjustable lens (MALAL) comprise a light adjustable lens that is capable of changing its optical properties upon an adjusting irradiation, including a photo-modifiable material; and a modulable absorption front protection layer, including a modulable absorption compound whose absorption properties can be modulated with a modulating stimulus. Other embodiments include a method of adjusting an optical property of a modulable absorption light adjustable lens, the method comprising: reducing an absorption of a modulable absorption compound of a modulable absorption front protection layer of the MALAL by a modulating stimulus, the MALAL having been previously implanted into an eye; and changing an optical property of a light adjustable lens of the MALAL by applying an adjusting irradiation.

The lens of invention has been proven most suitable for the cataract patients. The invention provides extended depth of focus to get continuous vision from far to near distance up to closer distances. The third zone 60 degree segment design of invention is to provide balanced energy distribution at larger pupil diameter and the controlled spherical aberration at each zone provides minimalistic glares and halos. Further the EDOF IOL balances the nominal power and provide pupil independence further optimizing energy distribution in each annular zone to maintain the good contrast irrespective of the pupil size and light condition. Further, zonal modification in the IOL can be used as a controllable switch to change the depth of focus according to the requirement, viz. from distant to near vision or distant to intermediate vision.

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.
